How do you answer the question “Who are you?”

Do you tell them your occupation? Maybe share your favorite hobbies? Talk about your family?

Our world seems to struggle with this question more and more. The search for “my truth” is a trap that people are told will help them feel fulfilled. You just have to discover your personal “truth” and then you will be able to live that out and everything else will fall into place and make sense.

3 For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, 4 since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.

~2 Corinthians 10:3-5

16 This is what the Lord says—who makes a way in the sea, and a path through raging water,

17 who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty one together; (they lie down, they do not rise again; they are extinguished, put out like a wick)—

18 “Do not remember the past events; pay no attention to things of old.

19 Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?

Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. ~ Isaiah 43:16-19

Jesus opens the ears, tongue, and heart

Many are the maladies of the body that cannot be seen but can be heard if those suffering desire to let others know.  While exterior suffering can be seen, that which occurs inside a person is often hidden from others.  Repeated loud noises tend to diminish the hearing of some, while others aren’t able to hear at the beginning of their lives.  With modern advancements in technology, some who have never heard can hear with cochlear implants, but this is never a guarantee.
