Reading: 2 Samuel 9:6-8; Romans 8:1, 14-17

Devotional: Even after receiving grace, Mephibosheth called himself a "dead dog." His physical restoration preceded his internal transformation. Many Christians struggle similarly—saved but still seeing themselves through shame's lens. Paul addresses this directly: "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus." You are not a dead dog; you are an adopted child, a co-heir with Christ. Satan's primary weapon against believers isn't temptation—it's accusation. He whispers, "You're not worthy. You've done too much. You're too broken." But whose voice will you believe? The accuser's or your Abba Father's? God doesn't call you by your past; He calls you by your position in Christ: beloved, chosen, redeemed, righteous.

Today, identify one lie you've believed about yourself, then counter it with Scripture that declares your true identity.
