PLEASING GOD

"Our purpose is to please God...."  

1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NLT) 

Father it is apparent from the example of Enoch, the life of Jesus, the exhortation of Scripture and the prayer of Paul that pleasing you is to be the primary purpose of our life. 

Enoch's walk: "By faith Enoch...had this testimony, that he pleased God." Hebrews 11:5 (KJV) 

Jesus' Life: "..I do always those things that please Him. John 8:29 (KJV) 

Scriptures' exhortation "..we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God..."  1 Thessalonians 4:1 (NLT) 

Paul's prayer  

"...we have not stopped praying for you... We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord..."  Colossians 1:9-10 (NLT) 

Oh Heavenly Father may it ever be the passion of my heart, in what I think, say and do, pleases You. Father may we all be able to say: "Cheerfully pleasing God is the main thing, and that's what we aim to do, regardless of our conditions. 2 Corinthians 5:9 (MSG)

Through Jesus our Lord we pray. Amen.
