Focus: The Perils of pleasing men

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how hard a man tries to please other men he cannot please them. There is no man who live trying to please men that can please God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice."
(1Samuel 15:24 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problem King Saul had when he was reigning in the land of Israel took its root from pleasing the men at the expense of God's will for him. He feared men than God who brought them to him. When the consequence of his action came those men were not there for him.

There is no way you can attempt to please men that you will not sin against God. In the actual sense there is no way you can please men because the heart of men is evil. As you proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that you will face more of the consequence of your actions. Don't allow men to push you to sin against God.

The lives of men is transcient. There is a limit to what men can do for you. Every man is expected to pay the price of his mandate and relate with God as an individual. As much as you can, do good to men and care for them but not at the detriment of your relationship with your Creator. If you do, the Lord will reject you and every service you render in His name will be an abomination.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!!
