If your desire is to please God and don't know how, or you have been struggling within yourself to break away from the inner conflict hindering you from pleasing God then this message may be just right for you.
How can one consistently please God? Remember Moses? He was the meekest man in his time but unfortunately, at a point in his ministry, people provoked him to sin against God. He threw away his sound faith in God at that point and dishonoured him. Instead of pointing the rod at the rock as commanded, he struck the rock under the influence of wrath against the people.
How can we learn from his example and live above board in pleasing God? Hebrews 13:16 shows the way:
'But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased'.
2 Wonderful Ways To Really Please God
1. Do Good-It is very difficult to do good under certain circumstances like the one Moses found himself when people he was leading never ceased complaining and blaming him for their supposed misfortune and imagined sufferings. Though they were fed free of charge without working in the wilderness, they were still not contented with the mighty power of God and his divine providence anytime he's called upon.
You may find it difficult to do good when men disappoint you and work for your downfall. But if you want to really please God, you must remember to do good. Reward good for evil done to you. Bless them that curse you and pray for them that despisefully use you. Doing good will keep you ahead of your adversaries and cause God to move on your behalf to fight your battles for you.
2. Forget Not To Communicate: In other words, remember to say something good, something honest, something of good report, something of love, something of benefit to others. Let your words be seasoned with grace. Speak to strengthen weak bones. Let your word give hope to the hopeless and finally, bless others with your substance especially the less priviledged in the household of faith.
By so doing, you'll be demonstrating the love of Christ to those around you. Your light will shine before men and they shall glorify your father which is in heaven.
