Remember the game show, Family Feud? They would survey people to get the most common answers to questions and then the contestants would try to guess the answers before their opponent did. Aren't you glad life is not lived by popular opinion? Or is it?
"John came fasting and they called him crazy. I came feasting and they called me a lush, a friend of riff-raff. Opinion polls don't count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Matt 11:18-19 (MSG)...or "wisdom is shown to be right by its results" (NLT).
Live today not by popular opinion, but by what God has called you to do.
John didn't understand why Jesus and His disciples weren't functioning in the same manner as themselves, and Jesus was so great - He acknowledged the difference and significance of John's ministry.
In our pursuit of God and Mission for Him, let's remember to celebrate and honor those around us who are also fulfilling their God-given callings.
What has God called you to? Do it with all your might!
