WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?

History tells us there really were cities called Sodom and Gomorrah, Ninevah and Babylon, and these places would certainly not have been on a best-places-to-live list. History relates the pillaging of Rome, and later the rape of this new continent by Spanish Conquistadors. Our country’s history is unfortunately filled with a trail of Indian tears, and slavery and civil rights denied.

More recent world history tells us about men named Adolph Hitler and Milosovich, Sadaam Hussein and unfortunately hundreds of others. Maybe at some time all these men asked themselves the question, “Who am I?” or maybe they didn’t. But if they did, they couldn’t quote from the book of Proverbs, “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people,” and have it apply to them.

When it comes to identification, none of these people can be called a joy for God to behold. Some people are worthy of the lives God has given them, and some are not. Some are a healing. Some are a hurt. Most are somewhere in between. Who are you? Who am I? It is not an idle question, not an idle question at all.

And all this begs the question, can one improve? The answer, of course, is YES!
Because yes, we don’t have to allow ourselves to be caught up in a “repetition game” making the same dumb, stupid, hard headed mistakes over and over again.

I’ve prayed, pondered and personally proved, at least to myself, that God is a power-pack that can shape our personality in a better direction. Indeed, someone has written a hymn about it, “It is no secret what God can do.”

Yet, people continue to act as if His spiritual-power-pack is a little known revelation: a wisdom to be ignored, or a half-heartedly accepted truth.

Therefore remember His power point words, “Ask and it shall be given you.” And do not just bask in the truth of it, but put legs on the idea and run with it.

Sit in on God’s class of heavenly teachings. Don’t just monitor the course, take the tests. What it will do to improve your collection of weaknesses will make your head swim and your thanksgiving swagger. Prove that being born again is a multi-directional opportunity that can touch mind, body and soul. Because you see:

There is biology by which we can study the living cells.
There is psychology by which we can probe the id and the ego.
There is physiology by which we can study the function of bodily organs.

And then there is theology by which we can study and influence our relationship with God. And if you really study God, you are also studying yourself. Or as one man put it, “As God became more real, I seemed to become more real. As I began to know more about God, I began to understand more about myself.”
