What Is My Self-Worth? (Pt. 1)

In a culture obsessed with rating systems, physical appearance, and corporate titles, many find themselves trapped in a perpetual identity crisis. We often measure our value by what we can produce or how we look, but Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that these are losing battles. True, lasting self-worth can only be found by looking toward our Creator. Drawing from the profound truths of Psalm 139, this message explores how God’s intimate knowledge of our lives—from our "sitting down" to our "rising up"—provides a foundation for dignity that the world cannot shake. You are not a speck in a second-rate galaxy; you are the crowning work of God’s omnipotence, designed with purpose and loved from the moment of conception. 📖 Get My Free Devotional Magazine: https://www.davidjeremiah.org/magazine/signup Q: What does the Bible say about self-worth and identity? A: According to Psalm 139, your worth is not defined by culture or achievement but by the fact that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, who knows your every thought and path. Q: How does Psalm 139 define God’s relationship with man? A: The text highlights God's omniscience (knowing all), omnipresence (being everywhere), and omnipotence (creating life), proving that every human being is a deliberate creation rather than a biological accident. Q: Where can I find my value when I feel invisible? A: Your value is found in the "Imago Dei"—the Image of God. Dr. David Jeremiah explains that your self-esteem should come from the reality that the Creator of the universe is intimately near you and personally knows your needs. Has there been a time in your life when you felt "invisible," and how did a specific Scripture help you remember your value in God's eyes?
