We can get so caught up in our own identity, that we miss a better option. This passage talks about circumcision which was a big deal to the Jews in Bible times. They were more interested in the fact of their circumcision than in the cross of Christ which made circumcision unnecessary.

Today, the variety of choices for identity are overwhelming. That is why we need to narrow our choices down by looking at what the Bible says. We can rejoice in what God has done as we read and understand God’s Word. A better identity is waiting. Let’s pursue it together.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing a better identity through Jesus’ death on the cross. Thank You for providing a way to that identity through the instruction in the Bible. Please help us to pursue it.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
