May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight.
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14 ( NIV)
Someone said, “I’m so concerned if I go against the majority I will not be liked.” My response was, “So what?”
To elaborate further, we should be pleasant and polite and loving to each other, however, invariably we are all different and have different views and beliefs at times. When someone or something is going against the grain of God’s Word…we naturally go in the path of God, no matter what the majority may believe. This is called unwavering faith. This is called trusting in God. This is called loving the Father.
Why should be care what “individuals think of us?” As long as we are pleasing to God and doing all unto Him and His Word and His commandments, that is the most vitally important of all, is it not?
People can and will disappoint us, God will never fail us.
People can “literally kill us” but God is the One who has our soul.
King James Bible —Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Look to God, please Him and follow His ways as best we can while in this flesh body, walk with the Spirit. But, don’t be down on yourself if you mess up, or fall short, we all do at some point in our life, maybe many times in our life...but how amazing is this? God will ultimately forgive you as long as we repent and move forward. Amen.
Remember, peace comes from within…that peace is the Holy Spirit who is there to comfort you at every turn, help with decisions, and guide you along the way.
Peace…yes, peace…in this chaotic world we still have peace from within.
Thank you LORD, in Jesus precious name, Amen!
I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 (NIV)
