So often in life we give our all to people. We love them beyond measure. We sacrifice our time, our money, and our energy on them. We go above and beyond to prove our love to them and many times we continue to do those things even when they hurt us and misuse us. We seek to please men and women on the earth in all that we do and yet we find it difficult to live our lives in a way where we are seeking to please God.
We have to get it right. We want to do what we can for others and treat them well but God should be our priority. We should be seeking to please Him in all that we do. If what we are doing for others is not pleasing to God, it has no Kingdom value. We should be seeking to please God in all that we do and say. That includes our relationships with other people.
God is a good God and He is faithful to us. He faithfully watches over us and faithfully keeps us in all that we do. He changes not and if we honor Him with our lives, He will honor His Word in our lives. We have to make sure that we keep God first. We can’t seek to please man and displease God in the process.
Take time today to evaluate your life and your lifestyle. Make sure your actions are pleasing to the Father and not just to the people that are around you. Make today about evaluating and eliminating. Evaluate your actions and commit to change. Change whatever you know is not pleasing to the Father. Understand, to eliminate means to remove, get rid of, terminate, eradicate, and end something. God is the giver of life but it is up to us to represent Him well with our lives. It is up to us to make sure we are a living a lifestyle that is pleasing to Him and that is outlined in His Word.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Galatians 1:10
“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”
