A proper view of ourselves is key to our relationship with God and others. Casting Crowns' song, "Who Am I," extracts truth from Scripture and embeds it into our hearts and minds with memorable phrases and Biblical perspectives.

This week's journey takes us through the question of not only "Who am I?" but "Who am I in Christ?"

On this week's episode, I discuss:

  • Our need for identity
  • How others define who we are
  • Examples of how God's Word defines who we are through Christian music I've already used on this podcast
    • We are overcomers - 1 John 5:5 - Episode #4
    • We are wanted - Isaiah 41:9-10 -  Episode #5
    • We are children of God - 1 John 3:1 - Episode #13
    • We are redeemed - Ephesians 1:7 - Episode #21
  • Even David asked this question in Psalms 8:4
  • I link back the lyrics to Scripture
    • The Lord of all the earth - Psalms 24:1
    • The Bright and Morning Star - Revelation 22:16
    • Christ looking on sin and watching someone rise again - John 8
    • Jesus calming the storm - Mark 4
    • We are flowers quickly fading - 1 Peter 1:23-25
    • We are tossed about like waves - Ephesians 4:13-15
    • Our lives are like a vapor in the wind - James 4:14
  • A final encouraging reminder that we BELONG to Him! We are His!

This Week's Challenge
Let's study Psalms 8 this week. It is a wonderful psalm that brings a balanced perspective of God's role and our role. It begins and ends with praise and giving God glory...the proper perspective. It also displays clearly our limits and weaknesses as humans. Finally, it acknowledges the responsibilities and privileges the Lord has given us. It's short but worth meditating on this week.
