Hey everybody!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Today I want to share with you the 10th and 11th verses of Galatians chapter 1.
“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
I find that this verse challenges me to constantly evaluate my motivation and reasoning behind my decisions and actions. This verse always reminds me that I was not given life to simply try to go around and please those around me, but rather the goal of all of my actions should be to serve Christ. I find that I sometimes seem to be doing things just to please those around me. For example, I strive to do well in school so that I can get a good job and keep my scholarships, but when I reflect on these motives I realize that my work ethic in school is not based around serving Christ. Understanding that school is important, I now have to challenge myself to try and incorporate serving Christ through my studies.
I want to challenge you to think about the different decisions you make over the next few days or weeks. Do your actions reflect that of someone who is trying to fit in with those around them or do your actions reflect that of someone whose mission is to serve Christ through all that they do?
Have a blessed weekend and try to stay warm!
