Last night I realized something as I turned to my devotional for the night.
"Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ." Galations 1:10
Now I don't have this all figured out. meaning it isn't always easy to recognize when you are seeking other people's approval instead of the one who truly matters. Let's face it people are not the most forgiving creatures, but God is truly merciful and forgiving.
"The apostle Paul said that in his ministry he had to choose between pleasing men and pleasing God. That is a choice you also must make. If your goal is to build a name for yourself and win favor with people, it will cause you to live in fear of man"( Ending Your Day Right by Joyce meyer) Reading that last night it hits home for me, because Iam currently struggling with living in fear of some of my professor's approval. This doesn't make me feel to good. So instead of being scared of my professor's judgments I am doing my best to seek and look to God instead. He is the only one who truly makes me feel free from this. I trust and know God knows what He's doing.
