There's a lot of pressure to be like everyone else.
Wear the same clothes, have the same haircut, like the same movies, talk the same way,
go the same places, and on and on and on...
But guess what - the Bible sets you free from that. Telling us not to worry about what people think about us, it liberates us from trying to do what's "popular." In fact, it tells us we should be totally different!
These two simple verse release us from all that pressure:
Proverbs 29:25
"The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe."
1 Peter 2:9
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should
show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:"
Be peculiar!
I know exactly what your saying! Thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteWhat an encouraging post! Mmm..it IS such a blessing to not be in bondage to all the trends and always trying to fit in. As a Christ follower, I consider it a blessing to be peculiar and different(in a godly way!).
