How To Please The Lord!
"Therefore we make it our aim,
whether present or absent, to
be well pleasing to Him."
2 Corinthians 5: 9
Dale Earnhardt Jr. said about his father
and namesake, the famous NASCAR
driver, “You wanted to please him all
the time, make him happy.”
That’s how most of us feel about someone
we admire. But sometimes we
forget that
our greatest satisfaction in life will come
from pleasing our Heavenly Savior.
Just as Jesus focused on pleasing His Father,
we must strive to please Him living with virtue.
Peter told us to add to our faith, virtue; and
to
virtue, knowledge (2 Peter 1:5). That involves
having the attitudes and actions that please
the Lord.
Ephesians 5:10 says: “And find out what
pleases the Lord”. Colossians 1:10 tells us
to “live a life worthy of the Lord and please
him in every way: bearing fruit in every good
work, growing in the knowledge of God”.
Ask the Lord today to enable you to
please Him in every thought, deed,
habit, and word.
"Every Christian should have a passion to
please God. We are to delight in honoring
Him. It is our greatest pleasure to please
our Redeemer."
