Acts 17:27
Who to Please?
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings,
or of God? Or am I trying to please people?
If I were still trying to please people,
I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10 (NIV)
When I ponder this verse in Galatians, Lord, I am flooded with memories of the times I set You and Your holy precepts aside to seek the applause of men. Why do I do that? Is it because I admire and adore people more than You? Is it to gain some good gift that I assume You will not give me?
When I find myself drifting into this kind of spiritual compromise, Lord, remind me to ask this question—who am I trying to please in this decision—human beings or You?
May I choose wisely!
Questions for Pondering…
When have I chosen to please God and what was the outcome?
When have I sought the admiration of men over Your approval? How did that situation work out?
