"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
Acts 5:29
This is a pretty simple scripture, but so so so important. Often in our lives we are tempted to listen to other people rather than God. Listen to them to tell us how to solve our problems, or how to fill our emptiness. But people, being fallible you know, can only help us in limited ways. Human solutions are only going to solve the symptoms of our problems, not the underlying problems themselves. And humans can never fill our emptiness... only perhaps help us forget about it for a while. God can cure us of anything... and can fill us to overflowing. When we search for answers, they can all be found in Him. Today, let's try to rely on God for the things that he offers us, and not try to find them in imperfect, earthly ways.
