The Only Way To Measure Yourself

Leon FontaineDevoted

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12   Comparison is destructive. Have you been around someone who starts talking about how great they are—who they know, what they’ve accomplished or what position they’ve attained? The more they talk, the worse you feel…if you start comparing yourself to them. This is why today’s verse says not to compare yourself with those who commend themselves. Next it says not to measure yourself by yourself because it’s unwise. Now, at first when I read this, I thought, “Aren’t we supposed to look at our past achievements to try to beat our personal bests?” …

La Única Manera De Medirse A Usted Mismo

Leon FontaineEntregate

No nos atrevemos a igualarnos ni a compararnos con algunos que tanto se recomiendan a sí mismos. Al medirse con su propia medida y compararse unos con otros, no saben lo que hacen. 2 Corintios 10:12   La comparación es destructiva. ¿Ha estado usted cerca de personas que empiezan a hablar de lo fantásticos que son, de lo que saben, de lo qué han logrado o la posición que han alcanzado? Cuanto más hablan, peor usted se siente… si usted empieza a compararse con ellos. Es por eso que el versículo de hoy dice que no se compare con los que se recomiendan a sí mismos. A continuación dice que no se mida a sí mismo porque es imprudente. Ahora, al principio, cuando leí esto, …

¡Dios Piensa Mucho En Usted!

Leon FontaineEntregate

Mis huesos no te fueron desconocidos cuando en lo más recóndito era yo formado, cuando en lo más profundo de la tierra (una región de tinieblas y misterio) era yo entretejido (como bordado con diferentes colores). Salmo 139:15 (AMPC)   ¿Usted se has preguntado alguna vez si Dios realmente lo observa? ¿Si usted realmente le importa? El diablo quiere atraparlo, quiere que usted piense que no es nada, que no debe gustarse a sí mismo ni tener confianza en el poder de Cristo. Pero no deje que esto le impida descubrir su valor y su autoridad en Cristo. ¡Es hora de empezar a darse cuenta de lo especial que realmente usted es! La verdad es que a Dios le importa. El autor del Salmo 139 …

God Thinks So Much Of You!

Leon FontaineDevoted

My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and ] intricately and curiously wrought [ as if embroidered with various colors ] in the depths of the earth [ a region of darkness and mystery ]. Psalm 139:15 (AMPC)   Do you ever wonder if God really notices you? Does he really care? The devil wants to trap you into thinking you are nothing, that you shouldn’t like yourself or be confident in Christ’s power in you. But don’t let him stop you from discovering your worth and your authority in Christ. It’s time to start realizing how special you really are! The truth is, God does care. The author of Psalm 139 seemed to struggle to put into …

You Are Wonderful!

Leon FontaineDevoted

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14   In our busy, performance and appearance-focused world, we can tend to get our self-worth from all the wrong places, measuring our worth by what we do, who we know, what we look like, and what we have. But that’s not how God measures our worth. Psalm 139 provides a great window into what God thinks of you. You are his creation. It doesn’t matter if your parents planned for you or not. God values you and he loves what he created! You have gifts and abilities in you. You are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” All of God’s works are wonderful, so you were …
