Sometime later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
God does not put heavy burdens on weak shoulders. God educates and tests our faith by trials that increase in proportion to our faith. God expects us to do adult work and to endure adult afflictions only after we have reached a mature status in Christ Jesus.
As God gives you on more difficult missions. As he more fully equips your ship to sail in storms, He will send you on longer voyages to more boisterous seas, so that you may honor Him and increase in holy confidence.
Who Determines Your Worth?' — John 8:48-50
So often we succumb to peer pressure because we let the people around us determine our worth in our own eyes. To be labelled as demonized is about as bad a criticism as one could receive if he or she is seeking to live for God. Jesus, however, wasn't fazed. He knew who determined his worth. He would not be baited into useless arguments by people who could only criticize and call him names. He lived for his Father's glory, not his own.
He lived to honor God and not himself. Since his primary commitment was to please God, he was very willing to leave the determination of his worth in God's hands. This commitment allowed him to live with the freedom to be all that God had made him to be.
What about you? In your own eyes, who determines your worth?
