Title: Pleasing God or Self?

-

"Am I seeking human approval or God's? Should I strive to please people or serve Christ?" (Galatians 1:10)
Devotion: Do you often find yourself caught between pleasing people and honoring God? Paul's words above offer guidance:
  Every moment presents a choice:
Human Approval or God's? If your heart desires to please God, remember: - It's not about accumulating good deeds (Hebrews 11:6). Faith which means trust, is the sole requirement.
  Reflect on your motives with these questions: - Are cultural trends and opinions shaping my decisions, or am I grounded in God's Word?
- Do I trust Jesus' finished work, or do I believe I need to add more?
- Will I stand firm in faith, even in adversity?
  If seeking popularity is your goal, following Jesus may be challenging. However, if trusting God is your priority, He invites you to live differently:
- Show unconditional kindness, patience, grace, and love.
Ultimately, you will stand before an audience, either of God or Man. Ask yourselves this morning - who are am I trying to please? 
 The lord will guide you to make the right choice and you'll have testimony in Jesus' name, Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
