EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) July 18, 2025 THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOU REV. AROME E. TOKULA Psalm 139:13-14 (MSG) 13 Oh yes, YOU SHAPED ME FIRST INSIDE, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. 14 I THANK YOU, High God—you're breathtaking! BODY AND SOUL, I AM MARVELOUSLY MADE! I worship in adoration—WHAT A CREATION! The foundation to a fruitful and successful life begins by appreciating who God has made you! To celebrate others at the expense of yourself or to treat yourself harshly than you would others are signs you don't appreciate who God has made you to be. King David wasn't a ‘perfect’ person. In sharp contrast to King Saul, he wasn't tall in stature! He was not born into a noble family yet he was grateful for who God made him. He didn’t move with a complex! He understood that he was first 'David' in God's heart before he was given a physical body and an environment to live in. He understood that God didn't make a mistake! He didn't define himself by his environment, what he had or didn't have, rather he defined himself by the One who created him - God! David thanked God and appreciated himself. He saw himself as God's creation and exclaimed, “... What a creation!" You should be able to say that about yourself! Appreciating yourself for who God has made you will greatly affect your self-esteem and free you to be yourself because nobody is really better than you! You're simply amazing! Rather than go around being sad and having a negative attitude, take sometime today to celebrate God and don’t forget to appreciate yourself for who God has made you! If nobody takes you out on a date, take yourself out! The truth is, everything around you might not be right 'yet' but it doesn't mean YOU are wrong! Just because something didn't work out as planned doesn't mean you aren't working! That the car didn’t start doesn't mean you didn’t start - you woke up! When you start to thank God for WHO He has made you, everything will begin to fall into place in your life! Never forget that you are God's best version of you! DECLARE I am beautifully and wonderfully made of the God and I am perfectly suited for the Father’s purpose for my life. Thank You Father for the great future that You have planned and prepared for me to live and thank You for the gift of Jesus that now fills my heart in the person of the Holy Spirit. I love who God has made me in Jesus name. PONDER You are God's best version of you #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #July #TheMonthOfGrace #2025_TheChristOurLord
