A ministry of Today's Christian Woman
from the New Living Translation
"Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct."
Galatians 6:4–5
encouragement for today
Too many people live in the bondage to fear of what others think of them. Paul gives the right attitude here: Focus on your own actions, doing what's right and not worrying about or comparing yourself to other people. Focusing on what others think or what they want us to do takes us away from responsibility for our own conduct. Find out what you should do, do that well, and forget about what other people think. Paul wanted the Galatians to be free, and this is a key part of freedom.
