"The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just, then when we offer Him sacrifices!"
Do you love Jesus Christ the Lord God? Do you want to please Him? Our One Truth Today tells us how we can do that. Do what is right in God's sight and make certain that what you do is just and righteous. Be less concerned with pleasing yourself and more concerned with pleasing God! When you wake up each morning pray that during this day you will attempt to do what is right and just and pleases God. Instead of focusing on your desires, seek first the kingdom of God. We must always keep an eternal perspective that elevates what the Lord desires and will please Him above our needs and desires. What part does God play in your plans for each day? We are here on earth to praise, honor and give glory to God. We need to always be aware of WHAT PLEASES THE LORD!
Before Jesus Christ descended to the earth and offered Himself up as the ultimate sacrifice, we brought sacrifices to the alter of God. The shedding of the blood of animals was thought to be a substitute for what was to come. It pleased God to receive the just sacrifices of His people, until the shed blood and atonement of Jesus Christ, His Son. There no longer is a temple and there are no more animal sacrifices made to God. Jesus Christ is the reason this is no longer needed. The Lord is now more pleased when His children, because of their Love for God, do what is right and what is just. That is now our sacrifice unto the Lord. If you are His child and Know, Love and Fear Him, you also know WHAT PLEASES THE LORD!
If you want to please God, Honor Him, Worship Him, Praise Him. Do it as a part of your daily life. Do the right thing. Do what is just in the sight of the Lord. If you live according to His Word and seek His righteousness you will please God. The Words and Laws of God should be written on your heart, and then acted out in your life. Seek God first in everything that you do and long for His eternal kingdom, then everything will be added unto you. You will know what is right, if you know God. You will act justly, if you know of the justice of God. The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just, then when we offer Him sacrifices or try to please ourselves. As His child you know WHAT PLEASES THE LORD!
