Pleasing God

Pleasing God can sometimes feel difficult, but it’s something we should always try to do. If you ever feel unsure about how to please God or don’t know where to start, remember this passage in Hebrews 13:15-16 (NLT):

“Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.”

This verse reminds us of ways we can please God. It tells us to praise Him, do good things, and share with others. When we do these things, we are pleasing God. Knowing what God loves helps us want to please Him even more.

Another reason we should try to please God is that He promises to bless us when we do. God loves when we talk to Him, pray, and spend time with Him. Pleasing God isn’t just about following rules; it’s about building a relationship with Him.

If you're ever wondering how to please God, here are some things you can do:

1. Pray: Talk to God and share what’s on your heart.
2. Read the Bible: God speaks to us through His Word, and reading it helps us grow closer to Him.
3. Worship and praise: Praise God for who He is and all that He’s done.
4. Help others: God is pleased when we love and serve others.
5. Fast and seek Him: Sometimes taking time to focus on God without distractions helps us grow spiritually.

These are just a few ways you can please God, but there are many others. Remember, God loves you and is pleased when you choose to honor Him with your life. As Psalm 147:11 (NLT) tells us, “The Lord is pleased with those who fear him, with those who hope in his unfailing love.”
