S- For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
O- Not men pleasers...God pleasers...men pleasers can not please God
A- If I were always to please man I would never serve God...This was encouraging because of my current place where pleasing man would be a lot easier. Some things might seem better, but in the long run I wouldn't be able to please God...why? because I wouldn't, like Paul, be a bondservant...a willing servant. Without a doubt, in spite of the hardships, the flack, the pressure from man, my joy comes from knowing I've sought God, His approval, His direction, that any one else's approval, would just be man pleasing. I am a daughter of the King...I'm happy right in my Savior's arms, my Savior's will, my Savior's approval.
P- Lord although I want to stay away from being a people pleaser, I do want to be sensitive to Your leading. I pray Lord that You are glorified in me. Precious Lord, thank You for all You've done in my life that has brought me to a place where I no longer seek to please man, but You. Thank You that I am no longer a people pleaser but know how to stand up to what I've learned from Your word, and not be afraid. Thank You for being my everything. Amen!
