Day 8 - The Self-Depracating Tongue

Day 8 - The Self-Depracating Tongue



Moses said to the Lord, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." Exodus 4:10



When you think and speak of yourself as worthless or of no value, that is self-depracation. I suffer from this a lot. My heart wounds from early on about my value, my looks, my weight cause me to "speak out" about those flaws before anyone else gets a chance to do it.



I am working hard on letting God root this out of my soil and most of those weeds have been pulled but a few, stubborn and deep roots are still there. Don't mistake this for humility--I did for many years! Call yourself what God calls you: righteous, precious, the apple of His eye, the head and not the tail, you are His child, his queen to be reunited as the Bride of Christ.



Read the story about the possessed man in Luke 8. The man called himself "Legion" because he was possessed by demons. It wasn't his given name, but he resigned to call himself that because he believed that about himself. Jesus came and healed him, driving out the demons. The man rejoiced and called himself blessed.



God also admonished Moses from our opening scripture: Exodus 4:11-12 says that God let's Moses know who made all, who does all and who gives all--it is the Great I AM! Praise Him.



Affirmation: God is able to make all grace abound toward me; I always have all sufficiency in all things and may abound in all good work. Have a blessed weekend, Sis Lis
