Galatians 1:10 - Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Paul's loyalty to Christ and his sufferings for Christ were evidences that he was not seeking man's approval, but his Lord's "well done."

His example to us is not about watering down any unwelcomed messages of truth to men. In everything you do, ask yourself whose approval you are seeking.

Choose today to serve Him today before men.

Romans 8:15 - You received the Spirit of sonship

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Every day brings new blessings, challenges, and fears. It's easy to be a slave to fear instead of resting in the peace of our Heavenly Father.

You see, believers are sons of God through adoption. He chose us to be His. And because we belong to Him, we should act as though we are heirs to the King of Kings, casting out fear and worry

Choose today to throw off the chains of fear in your life. Know fully that you are the sons and daughters of the Almighty Father. Believe it. Live it.
