All in Pleasing God
When we are serving God do we seek to further perfect what He has given us to do? If He tells us to build a neighborhood church do we go a step further and build a parsonage as well? We hear the voice of God, we hear what He would have us do and then presume we know what comes next. Have we been guilty of this? Did it seem innocent as we placed words in the mouth of the Lord?
Are we pleasing our Father? Do we do the will of God, and obey His commandments? These are the things that bring Him pleasure. Obeying them always describes the life of Jesus Christ, because if nothing else, He was forever an obedient Son. God is with us always, but for us to be actively engaged with Him we should do just as Jesus did… do the things that please God our Father.
