Choose to Please God

Choose to Please God

Galatians 1:10

The apostle Paul said that in his ministry he had to choose between pleasing men and pleasing God. That is a choice you also must make. If your goal is to build a name for yourself and win favor with people, it will cause you to live in fear of man rather than in fear of God. For years, I tried to build my own reputation among believers by striving to win the favor of men.

 

But through bitter experience I learned I was submitting to sort of slavery to people. God helped me realize I could only be truly free in Him.

 

If you are trying to build your reputation with people, it is time to give up all your own human efforts and simply trust God. He will give you supernatural favor with the people that is right for you.
