The Feathered Nest

At lunch, some friends and I were discussing an anecdote, where a very wealthy woman was treated poorly at an exclusive boutique, and left the store, humiliated. Though well able to afford anything there, and a frequent shopper, she was not recognized as such, and was spoken "down" to by the salesperson.  When her husband, an executive and well connected man in the community,  heard, he was livid, and went immediately to the store , to her defense. As he addressed them and their shabby treatment of his wife, he said , "Do you know who I am?!".

Reflecting on this later, driving home (when I do my best thinking!), it occurred to me that as children of the King of Kings, we should all be looking at our trials, our attacks, our sicknesses and defeats; at every lie the enemy puts to us, we should be looking straight in the face, and saying, not "do you know who I am?", but instead, "Do you know WHOSE I am?". I am the daughter of the One Who won victory in every circumstance. I am the daughter of the One Who is, and is to come. I am the daughter of the One Who created every thing. I am the daughter of the Alpha and Omega. 

We should boldly declare our position of righteousness and power over every threat; not because of our name or what we have or what we have done. But because the Blood of Jesus cries out on our behalf. Always and in every circumstance. 

Glory be to God on High. Who was, and is, and is to come.
