Daily Devotions

We live in a world obsessed with image—where billions are spent trying to enhance or even completely change how we look. But this November, we’re taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on outward appearance, we’ll be reflecting on what God’s Word says about our true image—our identity as followers of Jesus.

So we start with Genesis 1:26-27 ESV “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.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

From the very beginning, God made it clear: we were created with purpose, value, and divine intention. Unlike anything else in creation, humanity was crafted in the very image of God—a reflection of His nature, His creativity, His love, and His authority.

This truth answers one of the deepest questions in every heart: Who am I?

We are not a mistake. We are not defined by our past, our appearance, or what the world says about us. We are image-bearers of the living God.

Being made in God's image means we are created to reflect His character—His holiness, compassion, justice, and grace. It also means every human life has inherent dignity and worth. That truth should shape how we see ourselves and how we treat others.

In a world that often distorts identity and chases after superficial beauty, God calls His people to remember who they really are. As disciples of Christ, we are not just created in God's image—we are also being renewed into it daily (Colossians 3:10), becoming more like Jesus, the perfect image of the invisible God.

Reflection Questions:

1. Do I believe and live like I am made in the image of God?
2. How does knowing I reflect God’s image affect the way I see myself—and others?
3. In what ways can I better reflect His character in my daily life?

Prayer:

Father, thank You for creating me in Your image. Remind me that my worth comes from You, not from the world. Help me to reflect Your love, truth, and goodness in everything I do. May I see others as image-bearers too—worthy of love, respect, and grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
