Lord Are You Pleased?
Scripture: 1Thessolonians 4:1 Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
Observation: I’ve been torn lately because I haven’t been doing anything for God. We went to church last Saturday for the first time in a month, We are supposed to go to Bible study tonight but I don’t want to, I don’t even get up early and pray while I walk Noah. I sleep, go to work, come home, have dinner, watch television and go to bed. This is not a life that is pleasing to God. I do have my moments, but that is all they are brief moments in a life that God blesses.
Application: I really want to live my life in glory to God that when it is time to go home I will be welcomed with open arms. This Saturday the church will be at the pier to clean up and evangelize and I need to go. I need to start my class again on depression and find others ways to please God with the time He has given me.
Prayer: Dear Lord it’s your lazy servant again. I know my daily routines don’t please you and I’m having a hard time doing what I should be doing. I need you, I need your help to guide me to live this life so it is pleasing to you. Please take this laziness away a get me on the path you desire of me. I do want to please you and show you that I do love you.
