Help Me Do What I Do Because Of You

Good Morning,

 2 Timothy 2:4 “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”

Far too much of the believer’s decision-making is based on their own comfort, preference, self-esteem, or with friends in mind. 

Often we make decisions with friends or co-workers in mind, even if it fails to be what we might choose to do on our own. 

Many a morning, a person is found planing their wardrobe and thinking what those they work with will think. 

That is exactly what we should have in a good relationship to Christ. We should consider what He would like most and what would please Him, and then we should seek to make each decision align with that which would please Him. 

If we are concerned what our friends might think about our clothing, pull out the word friend and put Jesus in; we should be more concerned what Jesus would think about our clothing.

If we are concerned about our hair and what our friends would like or not like, pull the word friend out, and put the word Jesus in.

Our children's education should not be chosen to impress frail humans, but certainly should be based on what Jesus would want our children to be, do, and learn. 

John 8:29  “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.”
