"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)
When teaching, it is important to find ways to motivate students. Finding ways to encourage students to learn can be challenging. When we consider our lives, especially our spiritual actions, we should inventory our own motivation.
When thinking about our motivation, we should think about why we do what we do. We should ask ourselves, "Whose favor are we seeking?" The honest answer to this question should be to please God. Our motivation should be to please God and to share His love and glory. When we meet others, they should be able to tell that our motivation is to please God and not man!
Make pleasing God your primary motivation!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me. Help me to always keep You as my motivation and allow others to see Your glory through me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
