Today’s best kept secret is that the likes aren’t always your friends. Yikes! It’s time to talk about it.

If you let those likes motivate you, you’ll miss out on what you were really meant to learn every time. And so will the one. And that is tragic. 

If you’re going to continue to step out in obedience, you need to remember that the one who is paying attention is more important in that moment than the 150 others you’re trying to reach. Appreciate them. Show up for them. Love them. Because God is teaching you valuable lessons in this moment, and we can’t overlook them. 

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had to come to a point where I tear down the alters I’ve built to other people and cut down the poles I’ve erected to attention seeking behavior. Stay with me and listen in because we’re going somewhere. Let’s talk a little bit about Gideon and just how good God is. He always makes a way of escape out of temptation to help us obey His word if we’re willing to take it.

Think about these questions: 

💫 How many times a day do you check to see how many likes your last post got?

💫 Who do you specifically look for to see if they’ve responded to your post?

💫 How often do you thank God for those who did respond?

Today, we're talking about King Saul, Gideon, Facebook, people pleasing, fear, and, of course, prayer.
