When All Is Said And Done

Today's Scripture

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27, NKJV)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

So many people live life worried about what everyone else thinks and wondering how they can impress other people. But we have to realize that when we come to the end of life, we’re not going to stand before people to give an account of our lives, we are going to stand before Almighty God. He is not going to say, “Why didn’t you do what so-and-so said to do? Why didn’t you fit into their mold? Why didn’t you take their opinion?” No, He is going to ask, “Did you become who I created you to be? Did you stay true to what I put in your heart?”

This is where Saul missed it. Saul had a big destiny. God had great things in his future, but Saul was so insecure that he let people squeeze him into their mold. He was afraid he was going to disappoint somebody. He said in First Samuel 15:24, “I disobeyed the Lord’s instructions because I was afraid of the people, so I did what they asked.” Notice Saul knew what to do. He even admitted it, “I disobeyed God’s instructions.” Why? He was a people pleaser. He forfeited his destiny in order to please people. Friend, don’t let that be you! Don’t be a people pleaser, be a God pleaser because pleasing God is all that matters when all is said and done!

A Prayer for Today

Father God, today I set my heart and mind on pleasing You. Help me to break away from the snare of people pleasing. Help me to stand strong against criticism and learn to walk in love always. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to You always in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I believe this is also what God was saying when He wrote the commandment, "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me." We (people in general) get so wrapped up in attempting to keep other people happy, trying not to upset others, trying to please them. I know that was part of my down fall before recovery. So much so that I lost my identity, my self respect, my dignity and but mots importantly lost sight of the fact that I am a child of God.

Have no fear of dying and judgment. I lived in fear for so many years. So grateful that fear of God is no longer there.
