'And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice' 1Samuel 15:24.
Acceptance comes with great delight. Desiring acceptance has led many astray. That is why many folks today no longer live their lives they focus more on what people say and think of them. Today people post their nude pictures on their social media pages and profiles just to gain more followers and likes.
Seeking to always please men and women can be very costly. A lady after dressing and going out, and nobody tells her you are beautiful, comes back feeling depressed saying to herself 'maybe I am no longer beautiful, why do people hate me? She will forget that God has already approved of her in His Word when He said, 'You are fearfully and wonderfully made' (Psalm 134:14).
The knowledge of this truth, that God approves of you will give you much more confidence. He thinks more of you. He says, 'For I know the thoughts that I think towards you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). Seeing that God approves of you, you should do what pleases Him.
