Image

"So God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
—Genesis 1:27, ESV

I was sitting in the parking lot of a restaurant, writing, when I saw two women walk past. I had seen all kinds of people walking by, but these women caught my attention. They had radiant hair, impeccably styled bodies, perfectly manicured nails, and outfits that exuded sophistication, presenting what many would consider the epitome of success. Immediately, I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Image." He continued, "They project an image of what the world tries to tell you is success."

The scripture, "You are made in the image of God," rushed into my mind. I heard Him say, "Tell the people to stop looking at the world and what it says is success and beauty. The world’s narrative is from Satan! He is the ruler of this world, and if you seek to follow the world’s standards, you are seeking Satan. He is the father of all lies."

God explained that there is nothing inherently wrong with wealth, or material things, but these cannot be our image of success. The world needs to see the image of God reflected in us. We are called not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Key Points:

• The world’s narrative of success is a lie from Satan.

• Seek the image of God.

• Satan is the ruler of this world.

Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
