Day 38 "Treasured By Our Lord"
Holy + Chosen = Treasured
Good Morning Beauties!
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” Deuteronomy 7:6 NIV
There are numerous influences that shape our self-worth. From the time we’re born, our parents have tremendous impact on how we see ourselves. Their words and actions can have a positive or negative effect. While in school and later in the workforce, our authority figures have a large amount of influence as well. These examples are of people in our lives, but what about cultural norms including socioeconomic status, politics, and social media?
Who have been the most impactful (positive or negative) people to have shaped your self worth and value? Make a list and explain how each one has influenced your beliefs. Next, add to your list the things and circumstances that have molded your belief system. Selah.
If you’ve ever struggled with your self-worth, you can find healing in this scripture. Take a look at the Deuteronomy scripture again. What stands out to you? That you’re holy? That you are chosen by God? That God had all the people in the world to pick from, and He still chose YOU? That God considers you His treasure? That God calls you His own? Let the Holy Spirit minister to any wounded place in your soul or spirit that needs to hear these truths. Pray He helps you accept the truth about how valuable you are to the God of the Universe. Selah.
Take time today to get lost in this beautiful love song to Jesus, the true treasure.

“‘They will be my people,’ says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. ‘On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.’”
