Put HIM First
I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? (John 5:43-44)
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9)
You are His. He is calling you to ignore the opinions and judgments of the world. Do not turn your eyes away from Him and He will keep you safe. He will rescue you from deep waters. He will guide you through your healing. He will uplift you. The world will not understand your walk with Him and Satan will try to discourage and delay you... Stay strong in your faith, for you were once in darkness but thanks to His unfailing love and unending grace, you now have the opportunity to dance in His light.
You are royalty, adopted into His Kingdom and because of the power He's given you, you are already victorious. He says, "Do not seek approval from men for they do not know what I know. Do not be insecure based on the words of men, rather know that I AM your security. Stay with Me and I will show you the life I have predestined for you and will show you the path your heart desires."
