Todays scripture Proverbs 29:25 Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety. In life, there will always be people who try to squeeze you into their mold; people who try to pressure you into being who they want you to be. They may be good people. They may mean well. But the problem is that they arent your creator. They didnt breathe life into you. They didnt equip you, empower you or anoint you; Almighty God did! If youre going to be all that God created you to be, you cant focus on what everybody else thinks. If you change with every criticism, trying to win the favor of others, then youll go through life being manipulated and letting people squeeze you into their box. You have to realize that you cant keep every person happy. You cant make everyone like you. Youll never win over all of your critics. Instead of trying to please people, when you get up in the morning, ask the Lord to search your heart. Ask Him if your ways are pleasing to Him. Stay focused on your goals. If people dont understand you, thats okay. If you lose some friends because you wouldnt let them control you, they werent true friends anyway. You dont need others approval; you only need Almighty Gods approval. Keep your heart and mind submitted to Him and be free from people pleasing! A prayer for today: Father God, I come humbly to You today. I invite You to search my heart and mind. Let my ways be pleasing to You. Let my thoughts be Your thoughts. Thank You for setting me free from people pleasing in Jesus name. Amen.
