Seeing What Pleases the Lord

Scripture Numbers 24:1 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert.

Observation: Yesterday Teri and I did a cook out for the Bread of Life. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs which is really a treat for the shelter for homeless people. When I do these things I know it pleases the Lord, so why don’t I do more of it? You know when you are doing something that pleases God, His word makes it clear and your spirit will tell you when you are on the right path. So why don’t we do it more often, because it takes obedience and caring for God’s desires above our own.

Application: I need to rid myself of this laziness I have and desire to do nothing when I get home from work. I need to make a list of things I can do that would please God. I’ll be doing my depression class this coming Monday, which I know pleases God and ticks off the Devil. It will take some effort and faith and that is what will be pleasing my Lord and Master who deserves everything that I have.

Prayer: My Lord you are worthy of all my love, praise and obedience. Guide me and show me what pleases you and help me meet those desires of yours.You have met all of my needs and have loved me unconditionally. Help me love you back with that same type of love.
