S - We must obey God rather than human beings!
O - Huh, there's an exclamation point at the end of that. Do you think the Lord knew we needed to hear this loud and clear? I know I do! So much, other than obedience to God, takes precedence in my day. I invest more into striving after man's approval than a righteous heart.
A - When I think about what defines my week...day...moment, obedience is not the first thought that pops into my head. By the grace of God, He has given me a lot of freedom in this area. For awhile I was really hung up on this one person and the relationship we had that determined what my mood was and how I acted. God is still carrying me through the process of letting that relationship go, but at least I've made forward progress :) It's not easy to make the "unseen" priority in a world of instant gratification, but as He teaches me, I grow to see that obedience to Him is well worth it and exactly where I want to be.
P - Lord forgive me when I make other's approval or other things more imporant than following You. I want to be obedient.
