Change How You See Yourself 

DEC 03, 2023

Today’s Scripture

Genesis 17:5, NIV 

“No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.” 

Today’s Word

It’s interesting that after Abram and Sarai had waited for the promise of a baby boy for over twenty years, God changed Abram’s name to Abraham, which means “the father of many nations,” and Sarai’s name to Sarah, which means “Princess.” He didn’t feel like a father, and she didn’t feel like a princess. But God called them what they were before it happened. As they spoke their names and heard others speak their names, the words pointed to the promise that seemed impossible and began to get down in their spirits. God was changing how they saw themselves through the words He gave them. They kept declaring it over and over, and Sarah finally conceived and gave birth to Isaac. 

What are you saying about your dreams? “I’m too old. I’ve made too many mistakes. I don’t have the talent.” That’s going to keep you from your dream. It’s why it’s so important that all through the day you keep saying, “I’m blessed. I’m healthy. I’m strong. I’m successful.” Keep declaring what God says about you. 

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that what seems impossible always remains possible with You. Thank You that You call me blessed, redeemed, forgiven, healthy, overcomer, and a masterpiece. I will call myself what You call me and become who You say I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
