“What Does God Expect?”

Categories: Moment With The Master

He has shown you, Oh man, what is good;  And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”  (Micah 6:8)

Many people ask the question:  What does God expect from me?  Consider some simple answers.
 
1) He expects us to keep all of his commandments!  (Matthew 28:20)  

2) He expects us to do what he wants at all times. (John 8:28,29)  Are you trying to follow the Lord’s example?  

3) He expects us to please Him instead to pleasing ourselves.  Paul said, “…Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me…?  Are you unselfishly yielding to the will of God?  

4) He expects us to please Him instead of men.  Again Paul says,  “Do I seek to please men?  For if I seek to please men, In should not be the servant of Christ.”  (Galatians 1:10)

God has the right to tell us what to do because 1) he is God , and we are human, 2) he is the Creator, and we are the created, 3) He is Lord of All! 

Devote this day and this week to pleasing God!
