Choose a master!

Last night at church Steve Kelly had a great message on self esteem....you Can hear the whole message on www.wavechurch.com check out the podcast section.

The reason I bring this up is to tell you a brief part of the sermon..... Steve posed a question to the congregation that I think we should all answer and perhaps do....

Steve talked about how alot of times people get caught up in seeking the praise of others....co-workers, your boss, friends and so on..... but the bible warns us not to seek the praise of men....seek only the praise of the lord. Seeking the praise of men will stunt our growing faith in the lord.... If you are too worried about seeking your friends approval you are far less likely to step out on a limb for the Lord when he calls you to do so, however, if you are seeking his approval your going to do it...no questions asked.

This brings me to the question he posed...when is the last time you asked the lord what he thought about you? ask him to send you down some praise and see what he does....im not saying make it a habbit but sit down with the lord and ask him to show you where you stand.

Hope this helps someone...grace and peace be upon you all.
