Galatians 1:1-2
"Paul, an apostle - sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead - and all the brothers with me, To the churches in Galatia:"
Here Paul establishes that his authority is in Christ and not in man. I think this is a wonderful reminder for all of us that we are not sent or made by man or to please man, but instead were have been created by Christ and He has placed us where and when we are for His divine purpose. Our purpose is greater than us. We need to be focused not on what we want to get out of our life, but to continually seek what God wants from us. Why has He placed us where we are? What is His purpose for us? Are we seeking to fulfill our purpose as described by the Bible? Are we focused on God or ourselves? When we make a decision is God foremost in our minds?
