In today’s culture, we are defined by what others believe are worthy values as men to be identified. We are identified by what we accomplish, by how we are know, or even remembered by. Our jobs, our manhood, our wives, children, accomplishments, and so much more. These identities fill our souls even in High School as we try to find our place in the Kingdom of MANHOOD. How do you define what a man is?
God has given us our identity in Him. We accept Jesus and we become adopted children who want to follow a sovereign God who is just and holy. He gives us a purpose, a direction by which we can stand up for, but it all comes down to us being willing to allow Him to show us who we are in Christ. We can decide and chase after the all those human values, but we will be easily influenced by a world who does not seek out men to be righteous, strong, courageous, and teach their children to be of integrity. No men, they want you to be tolerant, weak, and open to uncertainty. Is this what you want to be remembered for?
Men we do not need to leave a legacy… we need to leave people the gospel truth, show them men of integrity, courage to stand for God, to walk in uprightness… there is so much more to who we are as men, but only God can reveal His purpose for us. Only He can give us the identity we long for… the World is empty… do not be influenced by the Enemy and their mind games to convince you that this world has all you need… it is an empty path… do not be fooled!
