BOAST IN THE LORD
Isaiah 10:15 But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it? Is the saw greater than the person who saws? Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it? Can a wooden cane walk by itself?

WHO DETERMINES YOUR VALUE?
Matthew 10:30,31 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

THE RIGHT ANSWER
DAY 184 Ephesians 2:19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.
