The relentless hunt for validation in a picky, everchanging world is, well, impossible. And it can ruin lives. As people clamor to be perfect for whatever the latest standard is, they lose their worth and identity and achieve an insignificant significance, after all.

Our vindication is not in ourselves. We are guilty as charged. But sometimes we are not guilty and need an intermediary. God is our vindication when in a world that casts judgment.

Standards shift in an ever-changing culture formed from man’s ways. Don’t allow yourself to become polluted. Hold to God’s standard even though this world can be so alluring. Pollution happens over time and is hard to heal. The solution to pollution is to saturate your mind with God’s word which will help you to keep yourself pure and to follow God’s ways, not man’s.
