Whenever we say that we agree with a person, it usually means that we agree with that person’s opinions and suggestions.
But when we agree with a person’s life-style, the person’s habits, the person’s beliefs and principles, then that is something else.
Because that means that we agree and accept everything about that person.
It is like almost one more little step to believing totally in that person in whatever that person does and says.
In the gospel, Jesus declared that He came to testify to God.
And human approval means nothing to Him.
The people look to one another for approval and are not concerned with the approval that comes from God.
In our discussions and proposals, whether at work or in Church, we too would want support and approval for our ideas and suggestions.
But as Christians, we need to place our plans, our ideas and even our inspirations before the Lord.
We need to ask the Lord for His blessings on what we are going to do.
And we must be prepared to change our plans and our ideas according to God’s plan and His will.
In life, we must submit to God’s plan and His will.
Because God’s will and plan is always for our good and the good of others.
