Pleasing the Lord

Spread the love

Col. 1:10 “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

To be able to walk with the Lord, we must know Him. The more we know Him, the more we walk worthy with Him, the more we can have a testimony that is pleasing to Him.

We cannot please our friends unless we know what pleases them. If for example, we would try to give them a present, we naturally try to find out what pleases them. If we cannot find this out, then we try to guess at it, and we may or may not succeed in our effort to please them. We may experience the greatest troubles and pains in guessing, and yet, after all the struggles, we still provide the very thing which they most disliked.

It is even so with our Lord. How are we to find out the things that pleased Him? How are we to discover the things He approves? ONLY FROM HIS WORD! There, and there alone can we get to know Him. God has revealed Himself in His written Word. And it is by His Word revealed in our hearts by His Spirit that we may begin to get to know Him.
