Daily Devotion: Validation.

We all seek to feel validated. Unfortunately we seek validation from people and things that are outside of God's will, which in most cases leave us feeling less important, less loved, and less adequate.

Isn't it ironic how we seek to feel important by imperfect people and tangible things when the God of the universe, creator of all things has already affirmed us. We lack nothing inside of His will. We are loved, called, chosen and redeemed.

The craziest thing is that even with our imperfections and shortcomings He still loves us. So why do we continue to thirst for the approval and likes of men?

You are loved. Rest in this.

I moved to Dallas on July 7, 2017, and he died on July 15th....

Never put all your trust in men to teach you, even if it is a man/woman of God in the pulpit. The Bible is clear that we all need to work out our own salvation. (Philippians 2:12) There are too many people calling themselves Christians but they don't even read the Bible. The first thing they do when they're confused about something is look to culture (the world system), people or their feelings for justification. Be very careful about this because the devil is always looking for even the smallest ways to deceive people. And please don't just read the Bible or rely on devotions, study it to show yourself approved. Study it to be able to give a reason for why you believe what you believe.
