2 Corinthians 5:9

"Cheerfully pleasing God is the main thing, and that's what we aim to do, regardless of our conditions." 2 Corinthians 5:9

It's easy to please God when we want to. It's in the moments that are difficult, tensions are high, stress is insurmountable, temptations are too powerful that we have a challenge in pleasing God. The Apostle Paul is saying in this passage that it doesn't matter the circumstances, we have determined to live a life that cheerfully pleases God.

Could this be said of you? This hasn't always been said of me but I hope the scales tip a little more on the side of pleasing God instead of pleasing me today!
...

Have a great day and say to yourself, "Self, today you will do whatever you can to please God. Whatever it takes!" And then pray for God's help to do it.
