Day 326 Bible Reading: Ezekiel 45, 1 Peter 1, Psalm 119:17-32 and Proverbs 28:6-7 
As a son of God, we will face challenges, trials, and temptations. When we are in tough times with seemingly no way out, or we have sinned against God, or we have doubt of our powerful identity as a son of God, let's focus on our Abba Father's abundant mercy, grace, and power. We are new birth into a living hope, eternal hope through the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus overcame the power of Satan and death. The power of God shields us. Don't let Satan lie to us that we could not overcome the power of temptations and sins. The question is, "Are you in God's shield or out of God's protection?"
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." – 1 Peter 1:3-5 (English Standard Version)
"Heavenly Father, today I confess that too often I doubt my identity in You. I admit that I have little faith when I am facing challenging times in my life. Forgive me; I did not build a good relationship with you. I did not talk to you and know you, Abba, Father. Help me to be in you so that you will be in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
