- Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that. The Bible says, "Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it." (Ephesians 5:10 MSG)
- “Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.” Ephesians 5:10 NLT
- “But Noah found favor with the LORD.”
Genesis 6:8 NLT
- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you.” Numbers 6:25 NLT
( Rick Warren Daily Devotional)
R- The first purpose, before self, husband, child, calling, is God. Not just as the almighty God, but the most important task to figure out, to carefully determine what please him and DO IT. Faith is believing, the action is pleasing like Noah. Noah found so much favor with God, God re establishes his people through Noah. My first purpose is to be someone God smiles on and is gracious to. Wait wait wait, twice this week I have seen God work through my family, he already favors me because I have chosen to surrender. This morning I said, I don't want to have to move to Denver.
