I'm writing a devotional and I need some help. The devotional is based on the phrase, "You shouldn't care what others think of you." My God-brought thought" makes me think that that's not necesarily true. It's good to care, to some degree, what others think of you. I won't elaborate any more; if you really need to see the devotion, ask for it and I'll include it in extra details. But I need a verse or passage about God's thoughts, or anything else that applies to this devoi. Thanks!

That's EASY! Just take the opposite of all those things God hates so much and you will have enough material to write a long series of devotional books! Ha ha...
On the flip side, here's something I like a lot:
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
