LET THEM TALK, YOU WALK

There are times when God places powerful ideas and meaningful assignments on our hearts. But instead of moving forward, we hesitate—paralyzed by the fear of what others might say or think. Here’s the truth: *Let them talk, and you walk.*

Scripture reminds us plainly:

“In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.”

— James 2:17-18 (NIV)

I’ve made up my mind—I'd rather be obedient to God than be held hostage by the opinions of people. The crowd may always have something to say, but their commentary isn’t your compass. You don’t need unanimous applause to follow divine direction. Keep walking in the way God has shown you.

Just imagine what the world could look like if we all chose obedience over approval. What if we trusted God enough to follow His lead—even when the path feels uncertain?

Yes, there’s blessing in obedience. But for me, it’s deeper than that. I’m not doing it for the blessing—I’m doing it because God is our Heavenly Father, and He truly knows what’s best. Even when I can’t see it clearly, I trust that He does.

So here’s my encouragement to you: Let them talk—and you walk.

What does that look like practically?

Take one intentional step today. Just one. Think about what God has called you to do—and move in that direction. That step is your walk.

You don’t need the crowd’s approval when you’ve already received Heaven’s assignment. Walk it out—boldly, faithfully, and with your eyes on Him.
