Acts 5:29
But Peter and the apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than men.”

Peer pressure and the ways of our culture can be tough to go against. Most of the time we might not even think to question our personal habits and business practices. But if we are to follow Jesus, it means doing so even when it would be easier to blend in with the crowd and just do what everyone else is doing. It also means we obey God when it comes to how we spend our money, how we vote, what television shows we watch, what we do on the internet and how we spend our free time. What is my motivation in doing the things that I do? Staying in tune with your inner voice, those little tugs on your heart can reveal the desires God has for you. Spend ten minutes each morning in silence in your “inner room” with God. Empty yourself so God has a place to fill. Then when faced with day-to-day decisions, you will more clearly be able to hear God’s voice amidst the chatter of the world.
