Not everyone is going to agree. How do you handle their disagreement? What do you do when people go against what God has told you to do? Do you continue to line up with God or do you change your order of operation in order to accommodate how someone else feels? Your order of operation encompasses the rules you go by in life and the way you prioritize what you do.
When you think about a math equation and how you solve it, you can see that if you don't follow the established order of operation, you will get a different result. God wants us to understand that if we follow Him and put Him first in everything that we do, we will always get His result. We can't put people, places, and things in the place where only God should go. He has to be first in all that we do and that includes our thought process before we even begin to act on what we think.
People thrive on acknowledgement and praise and we want to recognize people for the things they do but you shouldn't live your life trying to please and acknowledge people and never acknowledge who God is, what God has done, and what God will do. God has to remain first in your thoughts and in your actions and when it comes to disagreements with people, always take God's side. Understand, God's side may not be the popular side but it is the right side. It may not be the side where you get the praise and accolades of people but it is the side where you walk in the blessings of God. Confrontations and disagreements with come with man but nothing that man does should override your stand for God and how you live your life for Him.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
