A new week is ahead of you!  How will you live it?  Who will you live it for?  Who will receive the glory for what is accomplished?  Who is it that motivates you to do what you do?  If the answer to those questions is “Myself,” it will only be an empty pursuit.  Pleasing “self” is not the answer.  Let the answer to every one of those questions above be “Jesus.”  Live for Jesus.  That’s what matters!

 

2 Corinthians 5:9

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

 

Colossians 3:23-24

23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

 

“Everyone lives to please somebody. Most people live to please themselves.…Pleasing God ought to be the major motive of the Christian life.” ~ Warren Wiersbe

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
