...Then Peter and the apostles replied, We must obey God rather than men...Acts 5:29
Any of us who intend to do very much in life will have to accept the fact that there will be times when we will not recieve approval from everyone. The need to be popular will steal our destiny. The Bible says Jesus made Himself of "no reputation"(philippians 2:7) He was not well toght of by many people although He should have been. God His and our Heavenly Father approved of Him and what He was doing, and that was all that really mattered to Him. As long as you and I have God's approval, we have what we need the most.
We must remember that we can not be popular with people and with God at the same time. We have to choose who's opinion matters the most.
Which side are you on and who's opinion matters most to you?
