In order to live the life of victory God has promised you
have to be very selective about what you give your time and attention to. The
bible says, “Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life
according to your word.” You have to recognize which thoughts to ignore, which
comments to ignore and even which people to ignore.
Every “battle” that comes across your path is not a battle
that you’re supposed to fight. Many battles are simply distractions from the
enemy to try and lure you off course. If that battle is not between you and
your God-given destiny, it’s a battle you should ignore.
Many people get thrown off course because they’re always
trying to straighten everyone else out or win their approval. But if that’s
your focus you’re wasting valuable time and energy that you should be using to
pursue your dreams. Turn away from that distraction! You don’t need the
approval of everyone around you; you only need God’s approval!
Friend, it’s very freeing when you realize you don’t have to
fight every battle. You don’t have to please everybody or straighten people
out. Instead, focus on what matters – God’s plan for you. He’s the One ordering
your steps so thank Him for planning good things for you and ask His help to
discern the things and people you should ignore. Keep seeking His approval
above anyone else’s and you’ll learn how to live in peace and happiness every
day of your life!
