Who told you that you were naked?

Every time I try to read the Bible, I end up in the first few chapters in Genesis, particularly where Adam and Eve sin and hide from God.  I think it is so profound and so relevant to us even today.  “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.  And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’”  (Gen 1:26)  How amazing to be made in the image of God!  We were created different than every living creature on earth in that we were made like the Lord!  “But the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die.  For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’”  (Gen 3:4-5)  Adam and Eve were already like God, knowinggood.  But Satan always tries to trick us and make us think we need more than the Lord has given us.  They sinned and hid from God because they were naked.  “God said, ‘Who told you that you were naked?’”  (Gen 3:11)  Who told you that you weren’t good enough?  Who told you that you were weak?  Who told you that you have no beauty to offer the world?  Who told you that you would never amount to anything?  Who told you that you can’t?  I used to think it was silly when God asked that question.  Who told you that you only had 6 months?  Who told you that you needed the next biggest thing?  Who told you that you’d never get out of debt?  Who told you that your baby wouldn’t make it?  Who told you that your dream is too big?  Who told you that it’s a stupid idea?  Who told you that you’re all alone?  Who told you it’s not worth it?  Who told you that you’re worthless unless you achieve the American Dream?  Who told you the cancer would take your life?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT??  Who are you listening to?  You are made in the image of God!  You have the righteousness and power of Jesus Christ!  You are not naked!  You are not an orphan!  You are dearly loved and wanted!  You have BIG dreams that God gave you so that you CAN accomplish them!  Satan is a liar!  Take what he says and the opposite is true, hallelujah!
