## Resource

Developing our self worth is a journey with the Lord. The enemy offers different temptations to draw us away and lose our self-worth. Finding our identity in external success and power is one of the chief ways. We considered how the Babylonians offered success and power to the boys (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) to slowly make them change their priorities and values. It is the same thing the enemy does today for many of us. We have slowly drifted away from the Lord due to our need to prove ourselves to the world. In this sermon, we consider the idea of clothing ourselves in Christ so that our chief identity is him. In doing that, our need for success and power dwindles and we are satisfied in him. As always, thanks for tuning in. If you have any prayer requests or questions, email us at theservingchurchdalals@gmail.com. Thanks and have a great week. Hosted on Acast.
