Finding Approval.

“If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”” ‭‭Esther‬ ‭4:14‬

From a young age with no one teaching us, we search for approval, whether from a parent, grandparent, teacher, or someone special we all want someone to tell us what we do is right. The older we get the more we cling to those words of approval, in each aspect of our lives sometimes in sports, school, a job, relationship, family, or friends. If someone tells us they approve it will be proof that we are doing what we are meant for. We must understand that no one's approval on this earth amounts to anything. Think of the story of Esther, although the King did approve of her she had no one else rooting for her. No one in power in the kingdom. God wanted her in that position and that is all that mattered. Today, stop searching for approval from other people and find approval in God. Wehn the time comes for doors to open the only opinion that will ever matter is God's. It doesn't matter what anyone else in this world thinks about you. Approval from God is all that really matters. “But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭11:19‬ ‭ “It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭8:8‬ ‭ “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭ ““For many are called, but few are chosen.”” Matthew‬ ‭22:14‬
