Pleasing the Lord “Do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:10). Who do you want to please? Every young Christian (and older one, too), down deep in their heart wants to please the Lord. However, if we are not careful, we may find ourselves trying to please people and in so doing compromise the Word of God. Paul’s desire after he was saved was, first and foremost, to please the Lord. The question he asked on the road to Damascus carried through his whole life: “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6). Later on, he encouraged the brethren in Ephesus to live and to walk to please the Lord, “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Ephesians 6:6). Here is an example of a man who lived to please God at a very difficult time in the history of the world. “Enoch…had this testimony, that He pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). Solomon concluded, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him” (Proverbs 16:7).
