Episode 451 // Sick of Striving for Approval? Try This Biblical Truth Instead! (Bible Study & Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️  Today’s episode is all about embracing the light God has placed in you and letting it shine in the world around you. No more hiding under a bushel! We’re looking at Matthew 5:14-16 and 1 Timothy 6:11-12, along with Day 11 of New Year, New Mercies by Paul Tripp. Too often, we seek validation from others instead of resting in the righteousness already secured for us in Christ. But today, we’re shifting our focus vertically—because real peace isn’t found in success or approval, but in Him alone. 🙌🏾 As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!  Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie     — YOUR NEXT STEPS! —    *Accept Jesus Into Your Heart* — https://lp.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/   Join Our Free Community!  — www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul  “Daily Devotional Discussions Christian Women”   Weekly Insider List (Email): https://circle-time-for-the-soul.kit.com/94f63ba0e6   Journal Waitlist: https://circle-time-for-the-soul.ck.page/8dadd22778   Website:  https://circletimeforthesoul.com/   My Favorite Prayer Journal — https://dailykairos.com/diana-cummings (Affiliate Link)   Email — [email protected] RESOURCES:  Devotional: “New Year, New Mercies” by Paul Tripp https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/13613-new-year-new-mercies Bible Project: “Understand How the Holy Spirit Works in the Bible” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNNZO9i1Gjc Bibleref.com https://www.bibleref.com/Romans/8/Romans-chapter-8.html My Favorite Bible: Battlefield of the Mind Bible by Joyce Meyer https://amzn.to/4dvAgFJ My Favorite Book: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren https://amzn.to/3ZE7le3   Testimony: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/circle-time-for-the-soul-for-christian-women-bible/id1687321834?i=1000676189319 🎵 Music: “Buenos Dias” Matt Large Note: Some of the links in our show notes are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them.
