And in doing so, has lost sight of humbleness & humility in dealing with and responding to all forms of Satan's apostles.
Most black people in societies such as the USA, when speaking of God, are only referring to the notion of God put forth by the Judaeo-Christian book called bible that begins with Genesis, ends with Revelation and has an Old Testament Covenant and a New Testament Covenant.2 Corinthians 12:7
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.1 Peter 2:20
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.In other words, For what credit is there in bearing up under a beating you deserve for doing something wrong? But if you bear up under punishment, even though you have done what is right, God looks on it with favor. (CJB)
In other words, frontline generals in the army of God should expect and welcome criticism in areas that need self correction and in areas that do not. All of it, handled with humbleness and humility, though it works nerves, also worketh patience. (James 1:3)
Most of us have a severely limited understanding of many things, including of God, Satan and Media. Sports media is a tiny part of what media is. Sports media, like most media put forth and made acceptable by societies is reductionist and retarding. How many times a week can you write about a sport, ask questions and cover every level from peewee to professional, and do so year after year, and each media outlet jockeying for attention of the masses. So many of them acquiesce, to their societal Satan nature.
Satan is never going to change and neither is many aspects of media and neither is the worldview of societies. The work we do in any form, speaks for us and supports God or Satan.
We should never look to another human or humans for validation or praise for what God has called us to do.
However, when we are programmed by the many forms of media of societies, yes we should look to another human or humans for validation or praise for what Satan has called us to do, because a society is a set of conditions that feeds corruptible nature that works against civilized behavior towards self and others.
