What are you stamping your approval on? A stamp of approval is a commendation. It says that you not only approve of something, it says that you salute it and you recommend it. What and who are you saluting? What and who are you recommending? Is it God and the things of God or are you saluting what the enemy is doing in and through others and recommending it for fear of what others will say if you disagree.
Disagreeing is never easy. The norm in the world is to “go with the flow”. Nobody wants to upset the apple cart. When you upset the apple cart, you disturb the status quo. So often in life, people try to maintain the status quo and they fail to progress with God.
Understand, living for God means sometimes you will disagree and you have to stand for what you believe. Failure to take a stand for God means that you are in essence standing for the world and letting the devil win. It’s time out for letting the devil win. We have to take a stand and stand for what God represents and for what we say we believe.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
1 John 2:15-17
King James Version (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
