Soldier of The Cross, is your life an offering to the Lord?
Do you want to please Him?
He did not name you and draw you to Himself for any reason other than the precious fellowship for which you were designed. He designed you to worship Him. What does that mean? That is between you and your God.
Although this is a serious matter, it seems to me that few Christians consider it. Who are you trying to please? Your family?
Your boss?
Your husband?
Someone who admires you?
Of course we do our best to do what is right with regard to our families and our jobs. Of course we attend to our neighbors and those who can not attend to themselves. It is quite another thing to live in order to please someone else or to get others to please us.
My husband has often said that when he prays each day, he asks the Lord to teach Him to be a pleasure to Himself. Isn't that the bottom line of existence?
In Heaven, we will have all knowledge, but we certainly do not have it here. When we need to know more that is available to us naturally, the Holy Spirit reveals whatever we need. That said, we are to take up The Cross and follow Him.
He has said that obedience pleases Him more than sacrifice. Why is it then that so many try to please God with a self-conceived sacrifice?
Soldier stand before Him in prayer and commit yourself to pleasing God. This is the call of the Word of God.
Can you come up with anything better?
