Pleasing God

 

    God created everything that gives this world life.  That means that life was created to give God the glory.  All life does give God glory, but humans.  We ignore Him.  We pretend He does not exist.  We break His rules.  We defy Him in every way.  Yet, some people find a way to live differently.  They give God His glory.  Their lives are pleasing to Him.

    Language is not necessary to live a pleasing life to God.  Language is for our benefit.  We should use all that we have including our voices to praise God.  His law is meant to reveal our need for Him, but it also provides boundaries that give us a healthy life and soul.  A happy soul is a soul that is obedient to God.

    Trust that God is trustworthy.  Give His wisdom credit through obedience.  He laid things out simple.  We are the ones that make everything complicated.  If we follow His guidance, then our heart can live in joy.  We can always have light behind our eyes.  

    To fear God is to respect and love God enough to understand that He can wipe us out at any given time, but loves us enough not to do that.  The fear of God is what may motivate obedience.  Pure righteousness is what leads us to love Him over everything else.  It is what drives us to forgive.  We have to forgive to be pleasing to God.  

    Live your life simply blameless and in innocence.  Those are precious gifts that can be take easily if you are not careful.  Keep God's Word in your heart.  Speak what you know in action and words to the world.  Tell people about salvation.  It is not a mission.  It is a part of your life.  Allow it to become natural.

    Allow the Holy Spirit to give your counsel, so that when you counsel other people you will come from a place of wisdom.  Prayerfully counsel others so not to betray, destroy, or oppress them.  We need to take care of each other instead of harm or betray.  

    God is the ultimate judge on how you live your life.  He will seek justice for all you do that harms His Word.  His judgment is swift.  It destroys pride.  Those that continue to reject Him will be brought down to wailing, torment, and seeking any escape that will never come.  It is serious because now they have the opportunity to change.  Are you trying to help them see their need for God?  If you try, then you can walk away knowing it is not on you.  You can let it go and know you were pleasing to God.
