Stone 4 = know who you are and Whose you are. David was overlooked, taunted, misunderstood and belittled by one who was family (1 Samuel 16 & 17:28). David knew not to consider or rely on man’s wisdom or opinion. He knew to rely on the wisdom and opinion of the One he knew He belonged to (V32). David knew that the wisdom, opinion and labels of others didn’t match God’s wisdom, opinion and label of him. This knowledge of who God was, and who David was in Him, enabled him to turn away from those who saw him as not enough and turn toward the one He called Lord.

Pause and consider: It is helpful to know who we are. Many of us have been overlooked, or we struggle with our identity, and have heard words spoken over us that tell us we are not ‘enough’. Have you had times when you have been overlooked, misunderstood, rejected, and felt as though you were not enough? Do you know what God’s opinion of you is? God loves you just exactly as you are and He says ‘you are enough’.

What is one step you can take toward finding out more about God and His opinion of you?
