Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. Being controlled by the opinions of others is a guaranteed way to miss God's purposes for your life. -Rick Warren, PurposeDrivenLife
We sometimes find ourselves lost in a situation where we did not intend to be in the first place. We wonder to ourselves "How did I end up in here?" "What am I doing in this situation?" "I was not supposed to be here". These questions and self realizations often come to us when we view back what we did earlier or a few days ago or months, years maybe. We tend to look behind us the things we did and end up regretting all those bad decisions we've made. Come to think of it, we were the ones who made the choices, we were the ones who made the decision and we can never blame others for our choices.
So for us to have a founded decision, let the Manual of all manuals, the Bible, guide us through all our choices for the very Words that we'll hear/read are all inspired by God and it is the Truth.
We may be tempted to base every decision to what we feel at the moment or depend on our own wisdom upon deciding, but believe me it is all just a coy. Satan may tempt us to stay in our comfort zone and leave us vulnerable to our own choices in the end. We may end up following the crowd and controlled by it because we see multitudes doing the same thing, but the question is, are we following the right road? Or are we just compromising our calling because the multitudes dictates it? Or are we ready to go beyond the tide to follow God.? Sometimes we need to be careful who influences us, is it the Lord or the world?
People's opinion might affect us but do not let it stop you from becoming the person God is calling you to be. Do not be afraid of being different or when people around you says something against you. As long as you live for God, let people say all what they want to say. But never let their words affect your desire to follow God's will.
As the saying goes, everybody got something to say and you can never please everyone. Somehow at some point people will always have something to say about you, may it be good or bad. But do not let their words control you, but be controlled by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
So I guess that will all be for now. Leaving you all with this encouragement 😊😉. Thank you for reading. If you liked it, feel free to comment, resteem or upvote my post if you want. God bless you! 😊
