Reflection:

My son snuck my Fitbit to school so that he could see how many steps he did in one day. “Mum, I need to know how well I am doing,” he explained. “How else will I know how good I am?” I explained to him that, although I was impressed with the steps he had done, he had to ask first.  

It got me thinking, though, how much I rely on things, like my Fitbit, to tell me how well I am doing at life. How much do I rely on compliments or encouragement from people to get me through the day? Though these things in themselves are not bad, if they become my measuring stick to how well I am doing in life, then I am in BIG trouble.  

Do you know that you are secure, significant and accepted in Christ? 

Prayer:

Our Heavenly Father, please help us to remember that we are not trying to please man.  Lord, our life should be for an audience of one.  Amen.
