Do you feel free to follow God’s leading in your family or your church? In Jesus’ hometown, He was questioned and mocked because the people there were familiar with His family. It is comforting to see that Jesus understands our struggles to overcome the past and other people’s opinions. Jesus could have tried to prove them wrong out of pride. But He was perfect and knew that our Father would judge their unbelief. Do you want to make a stand, but worry about what others will think? We can have faith that God will honor our efforts if we keep our eyes on Him and His will for our lives.
