Have you ever been unsure of a decision, asked a trusted friend, and they give you a piece of advice you’re a little unsure about? You think it over for awhile, weigh the pros & cons, and eventually tell your friend, “If you say so!” You trust them, so you’re willing to take a risk based off their judgement.
Have you ever stopped to think that most of us listen to advice from people we don’t even know? We follow influencers & trends because they’re popular. However, we don’t often stop & consider the consequences of following what a particular group of people are doing. Even if that influencer or trend is considered a good person/thing to follow alongside.
I know for a fact that I’m not the only person ever who has followed a fad. I’m not saying that I have all the answers or that trends are all together a bad thing. But I wonder if we stop to weight our motivation behind why we do something we do.
Do we read books, watch movies, or even go to certain places for the sole purpose of fitting in? For our own personal benefit? Or do we filter everything through the only source of truth that is flawless?
The Bible should be our filter for all our decisions. No matter how big or small. So, the next time you decide to do something, don’t do it because “they” say so. Do it because God says so.
What are your thoughts?
