MAKING GOD PROUD
Psalm 37:4;
KWABBY JOY, OWNER OF JOY MINISTRIES
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart".[AMP]_
One of the numerous ways of receiving special attention from God is to make him proud. We are able to gain God's attention if we do the very things that will make Him feel pleased. Thus, we should standout from among the many people. To standout means to be exceptional or noteworthy.
The psalmist said,
Psalm 106:3; "Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who observe justice [treating others fairly] and who do right and are in right standing with God at all times".
This means if we are able to do what pleases God, He will assure us of His reward.
To be proud of someone means you are glad or happy about their accomplishments. So its like what we will do will determine whether God will be pleased or not.
In Job 1:8, God was pleased with Job for being faithful to Him; and God want to be proud of us as well.
When we live our lives the way we please, not fulfilling God's purpose,He won't be pleased with us: rather He will be disappointed. Example is recorded in the old testament when God regretted in making Saul a king over His people [1 Samuel 15:11].
On the other hand, if we do what pleases God, He will be pleased with us as well [2 Peter 1:17-18].
We can't achieve this without faith. We must have confidence in what we hope for. [Hebrews 11:1]. Faith is fundamental when it comes to making God proud of us. Hebrews 11:5; _"By faith Enoch was taken from this life,.... For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God"._ We should trust God and have confidence in Him.
Also, we must live the Christ-life. In Job chapter one, God praised Job in the presence of Satan because Job had lived a life that was noteworthy. He always had a strong desire to be in good standing with God [ Job 1:5].
We have been rescued already and brought into God's kingdom [ Colossians 1:13]; therefore we must regulate our lives and conduct ourselves in conformity to God: rooted in Him, strengthened in the faith and overflowing with thankfulness [ Colossians 2:6-7].
Even in crisis, we should prove to God how we yearn to make Him proud. We shouldn't make Him regret on saving us. Though, we are in constant warfare as Christians but we must live our lives like the one who rescued us from darkness into His light [ Ephesians 4:23-24]. Therefore, we should make it our goal to please God all the time [ 2 Cor 5:9].
It doesn't matter the circumstances of life, we should make God proud of us, by living His life on earth and having confidence in Him. He will make sure our needs are met with abundant Grace.
Amen.
