DOUBTING ONESELF BECAUSE OF THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS
PEOPLE CAN BE VERY CRUEL; THEY CAN SAY THINGS TO US THAT BREAK OUR SPIRIT. THE VERSES BELOW CAN, LIKE ALL OF GOD’S WORD, CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5; “FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR ACCORDING TO THE FLESH. FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL BUT MIGHTY IN GOD FOR THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS, CASTING DOWN ARGUMENTS AND EVERY HIGH THING THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, BRINGING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST.”
SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? TO BRING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY AND MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST? IT MEANS TAKING YOUR OPINION OF YOURSELF OR OTHERS OPINION OF YOU AND COMPARING IT TO GOD’S OPINION OF YOU.
THE WORLD SAYS TO YOU “YOU ARE NOBODY, BUT COMPARE THAT TO GOD’S WORD AND YOU FIND HIS OPINION IS “YOU” ARE SPECIAL”.
THE WORLD SAYS TO YOU YOU WON’T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. GOD’S WORD SAYS “I HAVE GREAT PLANS FOR YOU”.
THE WORLD SAYS YOU’RE WORTHLESS, GOD DAYS “YOU ARE SO IMPORTANT I DIED FOR YOU.”
WE ARE TO CONFORM TO HIS WORD, NOT THE WORLDS’.
