“And they will call them, “The holy people, the redeemed of the LORD”; and you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.” Isaiah 62:12, NASB
Years ago, while attending a dinner party, a woman was talking much about herself, her accomplishments, her opinions, and what she could do. She seemed to go overboard in trying to prove herself. I became so disgusted by her behavior that I left the table. Standing in the kitchen, God spoke to my heart, “How can you help women if you’re easily frustrated with them? Go back in there and listen to her.” So I did, and as I listened, she shared with me how she had gone through an abusive marriage and, as a young girl, how she had watched her father kill her mother. As I listened, I understood. Years later, I went through traumatic experiences in my own life and understood even more.
After any failure or painful experience, the greatest desire is to try to prove ourselves, prove what we can do, prove who we are, and prove that we can rise again. There’s nothing wrong with the desire itself. It is a natural human response. But if we aren’t careful, we can be consumed with the desire to prove and enter into pride.
My sister, I’ve learned the best way to prove yourself is to let God prove you. God can and will make it undeniable that He is with you. He will make it clear that His hand is on your life. When you humble yourself by yielding to Him, He will rise up strong and tall within you. He will silence your accusers. Let Him do the proving, okay, not you. Let your mighty God show Himself strong and flex His muscles in your life!
Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking directly to my heart. Thank you for bringing me through and for never leaving me. Whenever I desire to prove myself, help me remember I’m not my past. I’m your daughter. Don’t let the desire to prove to consume me. I only want to be consumed by you. I yield to you now, and I trust you to rise within me and show yourself strong. Be glorified in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I remembered a time in my life how I whined about the molesting going in my life. I wanted the attention. I wanted help. I wanted revenge. When I was given help. Told how to forgive. God healed my mind, spirit and heart I begin to speak a different way. He give me a testimony to speak to other young ladies who were victims to rape and molesting. I don’t whine or look for attention. But to allow God and His Word to heal, deliver, set free. And to know that God will bring us out. Thank you for such good devotional reading g today.
