WHAT'S YOUR TESTIMONY?
Hebrews 11:5 tells us that Enoch had the testimony "that he pleased God." Do you long to have this testimony too? I do. What a great way to start the day praying, "Dear Father, help me to please you in everything I do today. Help me to please you as I mother my precious children. I want every thought to be pleasing to you. I want every word I speak to please you. Please help me by the power of your Holy Spirit, Amen."
We cannot please God with our own works of the flesh; only that which we do in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We only please Him as everything we offer to Him is in righteousness. Sometimes we have to let the Holy Spirit do some purging and cleansing in our lives too, or we certainly won't be pleasing the heart of our Father.
In Malachi 3:2-5 we read how the offerings were only pleasing to the Lord after He had purged and purified the people. Look up the passage and read it.
Let's live lives that are pure and pleasing to Him today.
