Who Am I Seeking to Please?
Paul wrote these words while defending the gospel he had proclaimed to the churches of Galatia.
He knew that changing the message to gain approval would mean ceasing to serve Christ faithfully.
Paul’s question invites us to examine our hearts: who is guiding my decisions? The approval of others can change from one day to the next. Jesus, however, calls us to walk with Him even when no one applauds us.
Before making a decision today, pause and ask yourself: ‘Am I acting out of love and obedience to God, or out of fear of rejection?’ Give Jesus whatever you find difficult to decide with freedom.
Abba Father, You know my desire to be accepted and what is best for me. Help me act and listen with humility, speak with love, and remain faithful to Jesus. May Your voice guide my decisions above my need for approval. We ask this in the name of Your beloved Son Jesus. Amen.
