Beloved,
Many of us are “people pleasers”. We are people of love–God’s love, so why not please others if you can? But, ultimately, we want to please God. As pastor Mike says “don’t do anything God can’t bless”. So, as you go about your day, know that you won’t be able to (nor should you) please everyone. But, you can please God by what you do and say. Do that, and you’re guaranteed to have a GREAT day! Peace Friends, Scott

Seek To Please Me above all else. As you journey through today, there will be many choice-points along your way. Most of the day’s decisions will be small ones you have to make quickly. You need some rule of thumb to help you make good choices. Many people’s decisions are a combination of their habitual responses and their desire to please themselves or others. This is not My way for you. Strive to please Me in everything, not just in major decisions. This is possible only to the extent that you are living in close communion with Me. When My Presence is your deepest delight, you know almost instinctively what will please Me. A quick glance at Me is all you need to make the right choice. Delight yourself in Me more and more; seek My pleasure in all you do.
Psalm 37:4 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

John 8:29
29The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”Hebrews 11:5-6
5By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.Psalm 37:4 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
