John 5:44 “How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?”
Today is New Year’s Eve. I am reflecting on what I have done for God in 2025 and what I have done to advance my own agenda. As I look at this, I can see my self pleasing has caused me much pain. Yet, on the other hand, my self sacrificing efforts have provided me great reward, even though these efforts came with the greatest cost. I had a significant injury this past year, the people that sacrificed for me had that greatest impact on me. Today, as we reflect on things we’ve done and things we’d like to accomplish in 2026 let’s make sure we are considering man pleasing verses God pleasing. Dear Lord, please help each of us seek to be pleasing to you, today and each day forward, so when we look back on 2026 and all of our lives; we can hear you say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
