Several times, we have taken action, sometimes taking others into account, we thought we had made good choices and satisfied everyone, but what we sometimes forget to ask ourselves is: *is what we got ourselves? stopped to ask us if our actions are pleasing to God?*
Did we think of others before writing the exhortation so late?
Have we wondered what God expects of us?
How many people have we failed to bless that day because our interests were threatened?
Have we thought about who the Lord wanted to reach from this meditation?
We keep looking only at ourselves.
We act selfish all the time and say we love our God.
When we are attached to a person, we constantly want to please them, we want to see them happy, we want them to be proud of us.
Abraham gave in to the pressure of his wife, they did not think of their posterity, they stopped short term and we suffer from it until today.
What do we do to please God?
What is this sin that we refuse to leave?
What is this gift, this sacrifice that the Lord has been recommending to us for a long time?
If we want to please the Lord, we must follow his word and live by his standards.
Jesus went to visit Martha and Mary.
Like all of us, when we want to receive a neighbor whom we honor, we want to prepare for him a warm welcome, a pleasant moment and that is what Marthe did, Jesus cannot come to a dirty house without food so she is fought for the Lord to be worshipped.
Except that Marthe is not in the timing, she takes care of worthless things, which does not collect points in heaven and Mary, her sister whom she wants is in the will of the Lord.
She is seated at the feet of Jesus and is waiting to be taught, to be fed, she wants the good share, she wants to harvest for her granary and it is she whom the Eternal appreciates, she knew how to leave uselessness to fall back into the path of God.
And that’s all the Lord expects of us.
That we also give him the place, that our attention is brought to him.
What 1 John, 3:22 says – Whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing to him.
Pray to do things that will please the Lord.
We cannot keep the commandments of a person with whom we have no relationship, nor can we please him, and he too cannot do anything for us.
For this verse to be answered, it asks us to have an intimate relationship with God.
It is by obeying the Lord that we are pleasing to him.
Let’s stop finding shortcuts and get a little closer.
hello all
Good day
