The Coming Savior, Day 11

Your reputation is about more than you. Read Exodus chapter 11.

I’m sure that Moses didn’t feel like people liked him very much. I mean his own people had already demonstrated that they were frustrated with him and how things were going. However, here we see that God made the Egyptian people actually respect Moses. He was well thought of among their people.

What we need to understand is that our reputation actually it’s not always up to us. God can shift and move that in whatever way he sees fit so that he can be glorified in every way. Our responsibility is simply to be obedient to God. As we are being obedient to God, he will take care of our reputation and what people think of us.

Are we overly concerned about what others think of us? We need to relax and simply follow God. We can allow him to take care of the rest.
