Blessed Today
Psalms 112:1, Philippians 2:13, 4:19, Ephesians 3:20, Proverbs 16:7
People often do many things to be recognized and favored by others and this becomes their driving force as they seek to please and get the attention of others. Of course, we should talk and live wisely, but one must be careful to demonstrate love and concern for others while not being controlled by trying to please others. The Bible many times reminds the follower of Christ to:
Live in respect, reverence, obedience, and fear of the Lord
Delight in His Word, the Bible
So, lest one becomes obsessed with pleasing others, it is vitally important to seek the favor and blessings of God (Matthew 22:37). One must be careful in their desires to make others happy and set their mind, heart, and life to please the Lord. The followers of Christ are instructed to live to honor the Lord and help others as He directs.
Prayer: Lord, I give myself to You again today as Your vessel to honor You and bless others.
