July 31 "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10 Many times we fall in the temptation of pleasing ourselves and other people. We indulge in self centeredness. We seek and give more weight to the applause of man. Serving Christ means dying to self. It means seeking His approval and pleasing him with all our heart, mind and strength in everything. Christ is the center of our lives and everything should revolve around Him. He should be the reason in everything that we do. Pleasing Him should be the lone desire of our heart. He is a jealous God - He wants our complete devotion to Him! How can we please God: 1) Have faith in God and in His Word (trusting Him completely in everything!) 2) Obey Him and His commands (obedience is better than sacrifice) 3) Love Him above all ( He is 1st place and top priority)
