Day 2 "Daughter Of The King"
Princess
Good Morning Beauties!
We are daughters of the Most High King! That makes you a princess. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear this truth? Do you believe it? What does it mean to you to be a Daughter of the King?Selah.
I‘ve found most women spend so much of their time trying to please others and live up to their expectations. Is this true for you? It may have started in childhood and increased as you grew into an adult. Living up to others’ expectations allows the enemy to shout, “You’re not enough!” What is it for you? Not good enough? Not pretty enough? Not thin enough? Not successful enough? Not serving the Lord enough? Not praying enough? Not reading the Bible enough? The list goes on and on, doesn’t it?
It’s time to silence the shouts of the enemy once and for all. First you must identify the lies. Write down how you are trying to fulfill the expectations of others. Perhaps your parents, spouse, children, or employer.
In Galatians, Paul proclaims to the people, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 (NIV) Paul understood he only has to please the Lord and nobody else to be a servant of Christ.
In fact, he can’t please both. His full attention and service is to Jesus, and by pleasing Him, Paul could fulfill is life’s purpose.
What does Paul’s example mean to you? Are you willing to let go of pleasing others and trying to meet their expectations so you too may serve Jesus with your entire heart? Selah.
