"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10
Nowadays, our level of influence is determined by the numbers-followers, likes, recommendations, reposts... This verse reminds us that we shouldn't live for the likes. We live our lives for an audience of one. The Rapper KB said it best "Preach the gospel, and stand back, Look for changed lives not for hand claps" (lyrics from 'Church Clap'). We're not believers who seek humans for validation and confirmation. If we keep our eyes on Christ, and follow his direction, lives will be changed simply as a result of our obedience. We don't have to search for venues to preach to people. We don't have to have a marketing pitch to get people to follow us and read our posts. Remember, God opens doors that no man can shut. Are you promoting yourself or Christ? Happy Wednesday!
