LIVING TO PLEASE GOD


So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I am he. I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me.  And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.”John 8:28-29
            While we are not nor will we ever be Jesus, we have been asked to imitate him. In these verses Jesus the Son tells his disciples that he only does what he has been taught by the Father. He also states that he always does what is pleasing to the Father. That is not us. We struggle daily with doing the simplest things in the name of the Lord. It’s not like throwing darts at a dartboard. It simply cannot be a hit or miss proposition. It takes a concerted, consistent & continuous effort by us to achieve this.
            The Lord is always with us, even when we are unaware of his presence. He also goes ahead of us to prepare future events that must transpire to bring certain things in our lives to pass. God is busy at work continuously orchestrating situations behind the scenes. This is precisely why we must follow the plan written in scripture that we might achieve that which God knows is best for us and of most value to his kingdom. He chooses to use us for his glory. Follow the path of God, not one forged by your own instincts. God has chosen to use us to proclaim the gospel. What an honor to be used in such a way. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
