Honour God.
Bow your head in holy submission, whether you agree with Him or not; whether you feel you might have done things differently if you were Him or not. He has the power and He calls the shots. Honour God and His will first, and the rest will follow. His hand is not too weak to give you want you want, if it is in accordance with His will, neither is He short of resources.
Mankind is self-serving, and very persuasive in this pursuit. Mankind - friends, society, the mass media, the world of fashion, business, entertainment - will will do their best to persuade you to fill their needs. In fact, they will resort to emotional blackmail to achieve this end. Each day we are required to make choices, to make decisions. Not all fashion is bad - just changeable to keep the coffers full. Not all entertainment is bad - and not everything that other people may want you to do is bad. The herd instinct is strong and the advertising media and business know that. Our need to "fit in" is a powerful tool that they rely upon - and it works. But in the end, our success or failure in life isn't their concern. We need take a step back each day, take stock of our priorities in terms of eternity (rather than this hiccough that is life in the flesh), then go forward with confidence.
Honour God first; that will set your priorities and guide your decisions. Bow your head, recognize what your life is REALLY about - (why God created you in the first place) - keep the faith and God's standards high.......and get out there and have a great day!
