We Need An Audience of One!

As a believer in Christ, if other people’s opinions are your GPS, don’t be shocked when you wake in a ditch. This basic truth about life aligns with the biblical principle that seeking human approval over the guidance of the Holy Spirit leads to spiritual ruin (waking in a ditch). God tells us, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe” (Proverbs 29:25). This fear is an anxious need to receive affirmation from those around us. Hear the noise if you must, but let it play like background music, not drive your engine! Relying on other people’s opinions is described as a snare. True navigation lies in God’s perspective and wisdom aligned with His truth. Be encouraged!
