Wed the 1th

Galatians: 1: 16-17

 

16to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

 

Folks, we do not live for the approval of anyone other than the Lord. That is a bold statement, but a trustworthy saying none the less. When we are called to do something for the Lord, we do not need group consensus, or group therapy. We do not need the advice, or approval of anyone. Many will not understand your actions, many might think less of you because you have “left the heard” , but know this one cold hard truth…….the Lord is our light, our strength, our rock, and our way. If you want to know where you are going, then ask the Lord, not the guy sitting next to you. There are people here in this world that will do everything they can to drag you down, they will do it with a smile on their face, and a song on their lips. You answer to the Lord. He is the authority, and it is His plan that matters in your life. Don’t let the world drag you down, don’t listen to the people who would tell you that you can’t or you shouldn’t. We have to live in this world, but we do not have to be “of” it. The Lord will speak to your heart, follow it where He leads. Live with your heart, love with your heart, and fight with your heart. There is great risk, but much greater reward!

 

Peace,

Brian
