People trap
There is a line in the movie Return of
the Jedi and it’s Admiral Ackbar’s famous line. “It’s a trap!”
We as people fall into a trap of being
concerned about what other people think. We get so wrapped up in that
kind of thinking we forget what’s really important. See what’s really
important is pleasing God!
Proverbs 29:25
“Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting God means safety.”
Psalm 118:5-9
“In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me so I will
have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for
me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It
is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. “
I want to share the words of the song
“You Alone” by Kim Hill
“I lift my eyes when I am
troubled
I lift my hands, I lift my heart
And there I stand knowing nothing can
defeat me
Just as long as I know where you are
In you alone
Is where I find my comfort
In you alone
You’re my only hope
In you alone
my heart has found a resting
place
In you alone”
Seek to please God and don’t worry so
much about pleasing others.
Ephesians 5:1-2
“Imitate God, therefore, in everything
you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love,
following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a
sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. “
Psalm 119:64
“O Lord, your unfailing love fills the
earth; teach me your decrees.”
