Are You Pleasing?

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:9-10

 

Judgement may be kind of scary for some people. They’ll have to face up to their bad deeds…we all will. What have you done in your life that you know was not pleasing to the Lord? Have you asked for His forgiveness for that action or attitude? Facing up to them now I think is a good idea. We all have choices to make. Moment by moment we all make little choices…that can end up influencing big choices at change points in our lives. I’ve been reflecting lately that we can’t look back at what might have been…or how things could have turned out. But God doesn’t want us to “look back.” But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62. Look ahead and be ready. I blogged that recently and so I am preaching to myself. Don’t look back—plan and look ahead. My ambition is to serve You, Lord. I need to make good choices for today…that will allow God to work in and through me to serve and help others for the Lord. Day by day—moment by moment. Be pleasing to the Lord.

 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit—work in and through me that I would live a life that is pleasing to You…and make what I think, say and do all be of service to others for You. Attitude is everything. You are worthy of my praise.
