More pleasing

Ice cream is pleasing. Ice cream with caramel sauce on it is more pleasing. One Reese Cup is pleasing. Two, or MORE, is even more pleasing. Don't you love things that are more pleasing? I think we all do. And, we all like to do the most pleasing things for those we love. Well, once we reach a certain age and maturity.

Some things are good; some things are better. I don't want to settle for good; I want what is best. Don't you? I think we all want what is best. We don't want to have to settle for what is okay or good or even really good; we want what is best. How about when it comes to our worship and obedience to GOD?

Today's word is Proverbs 21:3, NLT, which reads, "The LORD is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer Him sacrifices."

Note what is more pleasing to GOD. Is it giving more money? Is it doing more stuff? Is it being more involved? No. All of those things please GOD, and we should be doing them all. However, GOD is more pleased when we do what is right and just. GOD is most pleased when we are following Him and doing His will.

GOD loves us and are pleased with us just because we are His children. Nothing will ever cause GOD to love us more. We could never do anything that would cause Him to love us less. I want to please GOD. I want to be what He wants me to be. I want to do what is just and right. I want to be more pleasing.

Be Blessed,
