“For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God?  Or am I striving to please people?  If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

  • At times you will have to make a choice between pleasing God and pleasing those around you, for God’s ways are not man’s ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).
  • It is important to get alone in quietness with God so that you understand what pleases Him.  The world’s thinking will mislead you more easily when you are not clear about what God desires.
  • Determine that you will please your Lord regardless of the opinion of others.

Thoughts from Experiencing God Day by Day Devotional by Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby.
