Have you ever felt like the weight of the world was on you? Have you ever felt like you needed to get approval from someone, or that other people were adding more scrutiny into your life? Lately I’ve been reading through 1 & 2 Timothy. These books are absolutely awesome. Paul is writing to Timothy, a young pastor. It has so many good thoughts and sayings to young people who are striving to be an example. Today, what hit me was in 1 Timothy 5 when Paul tells Timothy “In any event, keep a close check on yourself.” We need to only worry about ourselves when it comes to our relationship with God. God’s opinion is the only opinion that truly matters in our lives. We cannot live our life under the shadow of the opinions and criticisms of others. When God speaks into our life we must follow it. The key is to know God’s voice, to be sure that we are hearing Him. It is a difficult thing to do, but just like any other relationship as we spend more time with God the more we will recognize His voice.
