Title: Be A God-Pleaser

Scriptures: Proverbs 29:25

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Proverbs 29:25 says...

The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that.

How many times have we missed out an opportunity because of fear?  Or how many times have we allowed fear to disable us?  We could have closed that sale but we're too  afraid we get rejected?  We could have gotten that promotion but we're afraid that not everyone's going to like us?  We could have chosen what we like or need but we're too focus on pleasing others because of the fear of losing them in our lives?  Sounds familiar?  It's possible that at one point in our lives, we had the experience of pleasing others more than ourselves, in fact, maybe until this day, we still have that fear of what people think about us and it cripples us. It limits us in a certain way that hinders our progress.  The Bible says that fear of human opinion disables - it hinders you from achieving your full potential because there's no pleasing everybody.  Trusting God is our only protection from the opinion of others.  Remember always that it is better to please God than to please men.  Be a God-pleaser today!

Happy Wednesday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful message.  Thank You for reminding me that my protection and security is in trusting You.  Help me to be cautious not to be too concerned of what others think of me but instead help me to be sensitive of what You think of me.  Give me the wisdom and strength to take whatever opinions others have on me with the assurance that what matters is Your opinion of me.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
