We Should Not Do What Pleases Us

But Do What Pleases Them

And Is For Their Good. 

Scripture

Romans 15

“…We should not do what pleases us ² but do what pleases them and is for their good. We should do whatever helps everyone grow stronger in faith. ³ Even Christ did not live trying to please himself.”

Observation

We could solve most of our relationship problems if we just took “Me” and “Mine” out of the equation. The Apostle Paul tells us that even Christ didn’t live to please himself.

Lets put these two verses into practice this week. Lets do things that please others and that help them. Lets help them grow stronger in their faith!

Can you think of someone? How about your spouse? How about your kids or grandkids? How about a co-worker? How about a boss? Maybe it is a card or love note left for your spouse. Maybe it is going or doing way more than your normal for someone - just to help them, just to lighten their load.

Thought of someone … good … lets do it!

Application

I will strive to help someone (I have the person in mind) grow stronger in his faith this week.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to please others rather than living to please myself. Give me the opportunity to help someone grow in his/her faith this week.
