The Approval of God

A servant of God.

In Gal 1:10, Paul gives us a great lesson on seeking the praise of God and not man's.  Whoever tries to please men is not a servant of God.  What Paul is saying is that when we serve Christ we are not seeking the approval of man.  I once saw a movie on the life of a parish priest who for so long had been pleasing the people of the church when he was faced with the problem of meeting a real man of God he did not know what to do.  The movie portrayed his struggles to come to grips with his own Christianity.  Many ministers are in that same struggle right now.  They are seeking the approval of man and not God who called them.  Pray for pastors that they listen to God and not man.  That they speak the words of God to reach the lost.  That each one would speak under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and that their whole desire is to please God and not to seek the approval of man.  Your promises today are, Psalm 1:1-2, Isaiah 41:10, Rom 1:16, Gal 1:10 and James 4:7.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  It is amusing to hear someone saying they are fighting the goof fight and they leave their armor and weapons in the closet.  Experience is a wonderful thing unless it blocks faith.
