Our pitfalls can be categories in three areas, money, women and popularity. The first two are more black and white but third seems more complex,.Can we totally estrange ourselves from environmental feedback and solely rest on what God's Word says about us or does the devine expectation allow a degree of the worldly feedback for mental health?
Consider prophets of old being persecuted and yet they stood. The Word even says 'you can expect persecution - die daily - the Word being sweet in the mouth and bitter on the stomach'.
It seems most everything we do we are looking for positive feedback...
Is this a fault?
I don't expect a resolution from this post but it seems a good point to ponder.
God bless
