Conflict Day.
I definitely want people to like me. I seem to believe deep down that the opinions of others is what shapes and defines a person. I guess if God didn't exist, I could probably make a pretty good case that that is true. But I also believe that Yahweh is the biggest and truest reality of all, and so, His thoughts and opinions must trump all of the others. If every person that ever existed (including myself) hated me and said I was a disappointment, and yet God accepted me, I would have to believe that His judgment is the true one. All the billions of other judgments would simply be lies from the devil. Any opinion that conflicts with Gods is false, no questions asked. Really, it is simply God against the absence of God. God against Satan and his lies. It's a one on one match that Jesus has already won... and He's on my side. Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.
Lord, would you be glorified today more than yesterday, and tomorrow more than today. May we be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
