Faced with the choice of pleasing God or others we must be obedient to God. If Christ and His kingdom are not worthy of our absolute allegiance and our uncompromising obedience, how can we ever expect others to choose Him? Commitment, not compromise, is what brings those we love to God. It doesn’t work every time. I’ll be the first to admit that, but if it doesn’t work, nothing else will either.
“Well-meaning family members can be your worst enemies. If you prefer father or mother over me, you don’t deserve me. If you prefer son or daughter over me, you don’t deserve me.”
— Matthew 10:36-37 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, deliver us from our obsession to please people rather than You. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
