Whose favor?

9/8/2014

"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)
In my classroom there is an area called the "Chance to Change" or "CTC" center.  If students are having difficulty staying on task or following classroom expectations, they may be directed to the CTC center in order to reflect on their behavior and the motivations for it.  Sometimes they realize that their actions are more focused on gaining the attention of their peers than on doing what is expected in class.  As we go about our lives, there are times when we may need a "time-out" to reflect on our behaviors and motivations.

There are times in our lives when we must stop to ask ourselves if we are seeking the approval of other people or of God.  Throughout our lives, even within the church, we may get caught up in trying to please others or keep the peace at the expense of doing what God has called us to do.  We need to prayerfully reflect on our behaviors and follow God's guidance.  In all we do, we should act in a loving manner and be seeking God's approval above the approval of other people!

Take time to pray and reflect so that your thoughts and actions are focused on pleasing God!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for Your reminders about how I should act in my life.  Help me to focus my thoughts and actions on following Your will and pleasing You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
