Knowing who we are is important, but knowing who He is defines who we are. Once you have seen Him, you will never be enamored by the glittering things of earth (cars, houses, images, bank accounts). When we know who He is that is when we truly understand who we are. Our seeking to know us without knowing Him is what causes competition, comparison, pride, division, ego and all the destructive attitudes, thoughts and behaviors of mankind.

John the Baptist knew who He was, He declared, He is the lamb who takes away the sins of the world. He is the one of whom I am not worthy to stoop down and untie His sandals. He is the One you are to follow. In John’s statements, two of John’s disciples left him and followed Jesus and John celebrated that, for John knew who Jesus was and he knew who he was.

We will not elevate ourselves when we know who He is. We will not seek fame and glory when we know who He is. We will not idolize ministries or ministers when we know who He is. We will seek Him and He will not only grab our attention, He will keep our attention, for He is that amazing.

Once we see Him, we cannot be captured by another sight, but we do enjoy other people and other places. For He loves to bring us to places we can enjoy, around people who we can celebrate and be celebrated by. He loves doing life with us.

I was praying Psalm 29 this morning and it speaks of God’s voice and the power of His voice. In verse 3 I paused and realized again, He is the voice, we are the echo!!!! He speaks so we have something to say. What an honor to sit in silence in the mountains of North Carolina and hear the voice of the One who sits on a throne that cannot be shaken. And what an honor to be invited to be an echo for that voice that speaks with such power, authority and majesty. He is the voice, we are His echo on earth. Www.apostolicresourccecenter.org
