Breaking the Cycle of "Surely Now"
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
You know that feeling... right after you post a photo or share a thought online? Where you’re watching the eyes watching you. You’re counting the likes. You’re waiting for the comments. In those quiet moments you're basically wondering: "Am I beautiful enough? Am I interesting enough? Am I worth seeing?" Living like that in our daily life can be exhausting because we are measuring our worth by who is looking at us. But this isn't just a social media phase. It’s a deeply human ache. Today, we're going to meet an Old Testament woman who lived this exact same exhaustion long before a smartphone ever existed. In her story, we’re going to find out how the gaze of God offers the only real rest for a soul that is starving to be noticed.
