"...Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. So Eli said to her, 'How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!"
I Samuel 1:13b-14
The Jerusalem crowd thought the same thing about the Christians on the day of Pentecost – "They are drunk!" (Acts 2:13) -- as they responded to God's presence in their lives. Even Jesus' own people thought he was "out of His mind" (Mark 3:21), and others thought he was demon-possessed or was crazy (John 10:20). People will not always understand my fervency in serving the Lord. They may think I'm a bit wacko. But I am more concerned about God's opinion than theirs. Let them think what they may. I serve the Lord – not them, and He knows my heart.
Today's Thought: Our prayers and service is to the Lord God, not people.
Have a God-pleasing day. Love you.
