Want to be a Servant of God?

Then you cannot have as your aim to please people. This is a huge danger, especially if one is a people person. If people pleasing were my goal, writes Paul, I would not be a servant of Christ (Gal 1.10). Paul leaves no wriggle room for us in that statement. Either we are servants of Christ, or we are people-pleasers. We are never both. As servants of Christ we would do well to keep that fact in mind.

Prayer: O Lord God, may my aim be to serve Christ with all of my heart, soul, and mind, and not to attempt to please people.
