Live To Please God


From: Daily Disciples Devotionals

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." 

Although God desires to bless us, our desire needs to be that we just want to please Him. That means that everything we do should be done to please the Lord and not man. Do you realize that God is with you all the time. When we become aware of His continual presence, we change. And this change is good because as we align our hearts to please Him, we receive His peace.

God has given us internal monitors that let us know if what we are doing is right or wrong before Him. When we make choices that please Him, we have peace. If we are making wrong choices, the Lord convicts us. We become uncomfortable with a lack of peace. We realize quickly that we are not pleasing God when our words and actions are just wrong. 

Let’s live to bless the Lord. If we become aware of His presence now, we will live a life that brings Him glory, which in turn blesses us.
