A Reflection On Approval

When I need to remember that human affirmation is not my goal

God commands us to resist the urge to run with the crowd. It’s an urge based on insecurity, rooted in our former alienation from our Creator. But once reconciled to Him, we have no need for human approval. There is no culture to accommodate, no hoops to jump through for the momentary applause of a fickle audience. Best of all, there is no snare to fall into. Living Godward lives, we are kept safe from false values.

Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety.

Proverbs 29:25
