Just who are "they"?

Do you ever wonder who “they” are?   You’ve heard it before or even said it, “I wonder what ‘they’ say about that.”  Or perhaps, “I heard ‘they’ say that was a good idea.” Another, “I wouldn’t do that; you know what ‘they’ say.”   So who exactly are “they?  I Googled it with no luck..nothing. Whoever “they” are they are very influential and powerful and secretive because so many of us live our lives by what “they” think but have no idea who “they” are.

I wonder what would’ve happened if Noah would’ve been afraid to build the ark because of what “they” may think.  Can you imagine? Where would we be if he did? Let me give you a hint, we wouldn’t be because we wouldn’t be here!!  You see, Noah did what God told him to do and that was to get ready for a flood, even though no one had ever seen it rain at all at that time. We don’t know exactly what opposition he went up against but I can just imagine what everyone around him were saying and not only saying but pointing a finger and laughing. Yet Noah kept on building and building…a big boat. Maybe it was his old age that made him not care what “they” thought. For goodness sake the man was 600 years old! When you reach that age you can do anything you want and don’t care what “they” think. I’m just glad Noah didn’t care what “they” thought and went on and built the big boat.  You should be too, or you wouldn’t be here either.

Perhaps we should take note of Noah and his tenacity to do something without caring what “they” think.  Some thoughts….. Are we missing out on doing something great just because we are afraid of what “they” may think?  Is there something that we always wanted to do but haven’t, just because of what “they” may say about it? Are we not living to our full potential just because of what “they” might have said about us in the past? Just some thoughts I have.  I think “they” may have too much power over us and our lives and we don’t even know who “they” are and what makes “them” the experts.

I think it’s time to listen and care about the “One” that Noah listened to instead of what “they” say.  There is nothing else to say so I’ll stop. You now what “they” say…
