Be Yourself< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 8:10-22

As a child of God, it is very dangerous to be looking outside of God for who you want to be like. When your focus is on God and you are constantly and consistently focused on what He has done and what He is doing in your life, you will not want to be like anyone else but to be what God has made you to be. When you begin to think of becoming like someone else, you will begin to reject what God is doing and whom God is using to take you to where He wants you to be. 1 Samuel < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>8:19, ÒNevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, ÒNo, but we will have a king over us.Ó The children of Israel took the way of self destruction because they wanted to be like other people. Do you know Him as the One and only One in charge of your life? If you do, ignore how ÒBrother BigÓ arrived at being big, be yourself and God will finish what He has started in you without failure. The children of Israel insisted on being like others. 1 Samuel 8:20, ÒThat we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.Ó Why change what is working and does not fail? When God is ordering your steps, you do not have to be like others; otherwise you will be out of order into confusion. Be yourself at all times and in all situations.
