Bible Verse of The Day – 9-6-19

Philippians 2:13 (NKJV) 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

For His good pleasure.

Those four words sum up the reason we exist; for His good pleasure.

We were created by God for His pleasure!

We all have different skills, talents and abilities. We were uniquely created.

We have different personalities, character traits and physical attributes. But we are all here for the same purpose; for His good pleasure.

One of the most frequent questions we get from people is this; “how do I know what God wants me to do with my life?”.

There are a few different ways to look at this. But ultimately, we all need to understand that if we are pleasing God with our lives, we are on the right track.

Now, some might look at this and ask why we should feel obligated to please God. Isn’t that kind of selfish on God’s part?

No! Not at all. God created us. Every last one of us, including those who ignore Him or even deny His existence. So, wanting us to live our lives to give Him pleasure is the very least He could ask.

And as we begin to live lives that please God, bringing Him pleasure, we will be that much closer to what God wants us to do with our lives.
