Day 274
Psalm 105:14,15
"He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."
In Psalm 105, the psalmist told the story of God's care for His people from the time of Abraham. Before the Israelites became known as a nation, God protected them and even rebuked kings for their sake. In Psalm 105:15, the psalmist said God told people not to touch His anointed or cause any harm to His prophets.
I John 3:27 NIV says, "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you." We are God's anointed. His attitude toward His anointed is, "Don't touch them!" We should confess that we are God's anointed, because His anointing lives in us. We should allow that confession to help us learn how valuable we are to God. Our attitudes should be great toward life and its challenges. We are going to win! God is on our side! No weapon formed against us will prosper. Regardless of whatever bad thing anyone says about us, God says, "Don't touch them!"
In Matthew 25:40 NIV, Jesus said, " ... Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." He loves us so much that He takes personally how others treat us. Let us consider how God feels about us today and allow it to affect the way we treat ourselves, as well as the way we treat other members of the Body of Christ.
I appreciate how God feels about me and all His family. His high regard for me will influence the way I treat myself and other Christians in my home and outside my home.
