When I Choose To Be Who I Am Not Supposed To Be
The journey is quite interesting.
Overhear what you are not supposed to hear.
Rush to plan what you are not supposed to plan.
Do what you are not supposed to do.
Become who you are not supposed to be.
Grab a blessing you are not supposed to receive.
Flee to a place you are not supposed to go.
Be where you are not supposed to be.
That’s the story of Jacob. Genesis 27.
A story of deception, treachery, manipulation and identity-theft.
He became his brother to receive a blessing a brother his brother was supposed to receive.
It’s a different matter that his brother did not value his identity too deeply(Genesis 25)
When you don’t live out God’s identity for you and seek to become someone else, you start the journey towards pain.
When you don’t seek God’s will but seek to fulfil someone else’s will, you forget all that God has called you to be.
Choosing to be somebody else and seeking someone else’s blessing will take you where you did not intend to go.
Your identity is in who God created you to be. Not somebody else’s .
Your identity is embracing God’s will for you. Not somebody else’s .
Your identity is seeking God’s perfect blessing. Not somebody else’s.
Hear what you are supposed to hear. God’s voice.
Wait to follow what you are supposed to follow. God’s will.
Do what you are supposed to do. God’s purpose.
Become who you are supposed to be. God’s identity.
Trust a blessing you are supposed to receive. God’s blessing.
Walk to a place you are supposed to go. God’s presence.
Be where you are supposed to be. God’s calling.
Prayer:
O Lord, I seek to be all that you want me to be. Your identity for me. Your blessing. Your purpose. Amen
I look forward to hear or read what you have to s
say. Your thoughts are deep.
