LIVING TO PLEASE GOD
For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
You can make others happy. You can make your family, friends
and colleagues happy but what if what makes your family, friends and colleagues
happy makes God unhappy. You have to learn to live to please God.
When you make God happy everything will fall into place.
When you make God happy you will be happy and you will have peace in your
heart. All is well when you are living to please the Lord.
Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for
they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:10
Keep God first place and make Him happy, live to please
God. However, you cannot please God and
please all men at the same time; you cannot make God happy and make everybody
else happy at the same time.
Living to please God is a life of sacrifice, you might have
to suffer or be rejected by others for Christ. Nevertheless, you will never
regret living to please God.
The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God, and if children, then heirs – heirs of God and joint heirs
with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified
together.
Romans 8:16-17
When you live to please God, He will make you the head and
not the tail, you shall be above and not beneath and you will truly live a
glorious and victorious life.
You will represent God well and have the character of Christ
and the name of God won’t be blasphemed because of you. God will be proud of you.
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is
written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”
Romans 15:3
Thought of the day: I live to please God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I can choose to
please You in every circumstance, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
