Pleasing God? Or Men?

SCRIPTURE
We are not trying to please men, but God, who tests our hearts.
1 Thessalonians 2:3-4

OBSERVATION
How often do I try to please others?  It is a sometimes constant fight for focus to keep my eyes on Jesus.  The world has so many distractions and principles that are contrary to God's Word.  I thank Him for the tests that keep me coming to Him ONLY for approval.

APPLICATION
I will welcome God's inquiry into my heart as I strive to live to please Him.

PRAYER
Father God, You are in pursuit of my heart.  I pray that You never have to go far to get my attention.  Through Your Word, keep me sensitive to Your calling.  In Jesus' name, Amen!
