Feedback defined:
• Comments in the form of opinions about and reactions to something, intended to provide useful information for future decisions and development.
Have you ever gotten feedback from the devil? It is amazing how he so readily offers his opinion as if anything he says matters. Jesus said that Satan is a liar.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
Why would anyone base their lives on mere lies? People get all upset and discouraged many times from what somebody said to them or about them even when they know it is not true. Anything that does not line up with the truth, which is God’s Word, is not worth even thinking about. People are very quick many times to voice their opinions. Human opinion can easily be influenced by the flesh, the world and the devil, none of which have their root in the Word of God.
The next time you need to make a decision about something in your life, rather big or small, stay clear of feedback that is contrary to the will of God for your life. The bible says in Proverbs 3:5 …lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him…
We belong to God, He is our Father therefore we know His voice. God is the one who is to guide His people not the opinions of men. God is not issuing out opinions but rather commandments. God has not summoned us to a round table discussion to help Him make decisions. He is without fault and flawless.
Opinions are generally based on or influenced by a person’s past experiences, actual and sometimes hearsay or fictional. Our lives are valuable to God and His kingdom. It is not the will of God for His people to be guided by hearsay or fantasy. God wants our lives to be rooted and grounded in His Word so that when we need counsel or guidance it comes forth from His Word and Spirit.
Please don’t be misled by enticing words of men’s wisdom because it will prove to be vain in the end. We must lean on, rely on and depend on God, our Father, He will never withhold any good thing from you, never.
I like it, feedback that is contrary to the word of God. Even with so called constructive feedback that isn't not laced with the love of God, whose feedback does it now become?*
