Which one is easier, obeying God or human? Personally, I have no idea which one is easier, but I want to obey God first then men.
Acts 5:29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!"
Here is a little illustration. A school is holding an exam. During the exam, a boy asks his friend who happens to be smart to give the answers to him. His friend gives the answers to the boy. Then the teacher catches them cheating! The teacher is very angry and upset because the teacher already tell the students not to cheat or give answers others during the exam.
The teacher illustrates God while the students represent human. God has shown us all the rules to obey in the Bible. Even He gave the 'summary' by providing us the 10 commandments! Isn't it cool!!??
However, as human beings, we often fall for popularity and riches of the world! The student who gives the answer to his friend may be nice to his friend because he gives the answers, plus eases his friend. We are also often like this student. We want to be called 'nice' and 'friendly' by other people. It ks really dangerous when it comes to popularity. The fact shows that most people have troubles in life because of their own arrogance for worldly rewards! We do not want to be like them, right?
God and people have different point of views! What seems good to people might not be right in the eyes of God! Being good is not enough without the Truth! I know this is a hard thing to do! We need to carry our cross and leave all the worldly things (flesh).
So, what are we waiting for? Lets fight our own selves for God's true will in us! We must always remember that this world only offers temporary things while God offers eternity!
