Day 2: The Danger of Seeking Popularity
Reading: Galatians 1:10-24
Devotional: Jesus warned His disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees - hypocrisy that stems from seeking popularity. Paul's words in Galatians echo this sentiment, emphasizing that true faith seeks to please God rather than people. Reflect on areas in your life where you might be tempted to compromise your beliefs or values to gain approval from others. How can you cultivate a faith that is rooted in pleasing God rather than conforming to societal expectations? Consider practical steps you can take to prioritize your relationship with God over the opinions of others, and pray for the courage to stand firm in your convictions.
