Be Pleasing To God

Question:  how do we please God?  The simple answer is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and love our neighbor as ourselves and try our best to keep His commandments!!  How do we walk in integrity before our God?  Before we can answer that question, we need to make clear which God we are talking about, because there are many who claim that there are many, so called gods, in this world.  

Way back in the Old Testament people have bowed down and worshiped what they referred to as gods.  In the Old Testament people worshiped bulls and Baal and other so-called gods.  In the New Testament you can read about what some people worshiped as gods also, please read Romans 1:18-23, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.”

In my opinion the God of the Holy Scriptures is the only true God, the One that created the heavens and the earth in the beginning and many more things along with it.  You can read about the account of creation in Genesis chapters 1 and 2, and other places in the Word of God.

Now let’s get back to walking with integrity with our God and how we accomplish that.  Please read Psalms 15:1-5, “Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; he who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the Lord; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change; he who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved”

This is what it means to walk with integrity.  Question:  how’s your walk, is it

pleasing to God?  If not, I hope you will take this Tidbit to heart.  My prayer is that this Tidbit has been helpful and a blessing to all who read it and a help with your walk with the Lord!!  May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you all have a super, super day!!
