Why do we do some of the things that we do?
To seek approval among our peers.
Consider some of the things that teens do in an
effort to enhance their standing among their peer
group. I do not need to say any more there, do I?
Yet, we "adults" are no different. We buy, think and
act often in ways just to influence our standing in
our peer group or culture. We want their approval.
There were people like that in the days that Jesus was here
on earth. Speaking about some of the religious people he said;
"...for they loved the approval of men rather
than the approval of God,"
(John 12:43 NASB)
SO!
The approval of people is only good here on earth,
and no further. We might have their approval for this
short span of time we call a life time.
BUT,
what about all those years and years and years and years
and years that go forever after death?
"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men
to die once and after this comes Judgment,"
(Hebrew 9:27 NASB)
I want to spend the little bit of time I have left
in this life seeking the approval of God.
