Beyond the Trends

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." - Psalm 119:105 
  
In a world filled with constant updates and ever-changing trends, it's easy to find yourself swept up in the latest fads, influenced by what's "in" on Instagram, TikTok, or any other social media platform. While these platforms can serve positive purposes, they should never be your ultimate compass. Today, you're challenged to look beyond the trends and seek guidance from God's Word.

It's essential to acknowledge that not everything trendy is inherently bad. Social media can be a source of inspiration, connection, and even spreading God's message. However, when it becomes the primary source of direction for your life, it can lead you astray.
 
Trends come and go, often fueled by fleeting moments and popular opinion. What's considered "cool" or "right" today might be completely different tomorrow. Relying solely on trends for your decision-making can lead to confusion and inconsistency.

God's Word, on the other hand, is timeless and unchanging. It offers wisdom, guidance, and principles that stand the test of time. When you seek direction from the Bible, you tap into a source of truth that transcends cultural shifts and societal pressures.
 
Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God's Word is like a lamp for our feet and a light on our path. It illuminates the way forward, providing clarity and direction in the midst of life's uncertainties. When you consult God's Word before making decisions, you're aligning your life with His eternal truths.

This doesn't mean you should completely disconnect from social media or disregard current trends. Instead, use discernment. Before jumping on a trend, ask yourself whether it aligns with God's principles and values. Seek His guidance in prayer, and let His Word be the ultimate authority in your life.
 
As you navigate the ever-changing landscape of trends and fads, remember that God's Word offers stability and wisdom. It provides a solid foundation upon which you can build your life. Don't let the latest trends dictate your path. Instead, look to the unchanging Word of God for the guidance and direction you need.
