"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ." -Galatians 1:10 (NASB)
As I work with fellow volunteers at the nature center or with other members at church, I am aware that the goals of the nature center or church are furthered when we work together. While it is good to work as a group and give feedback to each other, there is only one approval or favor that matters in the big picture of life!
In life, we are to live for God. The favor or approval of other people may make us feel good, but that approval should not be our motivating factor. We should seek God's favor in all we do by following the plan that God has for our lives. We are God's servants when we follow His will. As His servants, we gain the one approval that matters - God's approval!
Be a servant of God and seek His approval!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Please help me to be Your servant. Allow me to know and follow the plan that You have for my life. Thank You for granting me Your favor and approval. Through Jesus Christ I pray, amen.
