This post relates to my own personal struggles as of
late, but fear not I will update you on my readings in Exodus when I find the
time as we continue our series on “What does God want us to know?”
This post is about naysayers, everyone knows a few. They
can be strangers, relatives, or friends. They are the people who, when you
attempt something great, tell you it cannot be done. They are the people who
make critiques on your goals, and tarnish your achievements.
This causes a great deal of frustration; it’s tough when
you walk out your door only to be on edge should some passerby comment on the
label of your clothing or your most recent aspiration. While I cannot change
the world around me, I can change my inner self and how I choose to react.
To connect to my current study, Moses was a man who had
to change a lot to become the great man he is considered to be today. Moses was
found by God as a reject, immature and very unsure of himself. Moses could have
continued listening to the naysayers around him, however he chose to listen to
God instead.
Do you listen to naysayers and critics? Do you allow
others’ opinions of how you dress, walk, and talk dictate how you act? If so
you may be in order for a change. Why listen to mere men’s opinion of you when
there is a God who thinks the world of you? I could let people bring me down,
yet I look out and see how God has entrusted this blog, FCA, and my own
personal ministry through my life—why listen to people who cast criticism when
there is a God who thinks so highly of me?
