-We can try desperately to receive the approval of certain people and only receive marginal gains
-The gains we do receive if we do get their approval will go to God's plan for those of us who have submitted the unfolding events of our lives to the will of God.
-Approval gets us a reaction against our adversaries and adversities, approval is a widening of the door of petition
-But people love the praises of men more than God's praises.
-Paul had to exceed the pharisees, the religious elite. There can be one person in our lives God puts there to say, now do better than them or get past them
Acts 23:1-11
John 12:40-43
Matthew 5:20
1. when you have something to say, not every ear is in the right place to receive it
2. seeking approval from certain places is a hard habit to break. Even leadership might not have your approval certificate.
3. Getting approval from an invisible God.
4. You will begin to accomplish more when you can say and do despite being rejected. then you are sowing abundantly. so the investment of affection doesn't seem like its returning... so what... is God with you?
