Galations 1:10

Am I now trying to win the approval of man or of God? Or am I still trying to win the approval of man. If i were still trying to win the approval of man I would not be a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I honestly recite this verse every day at least twice!

This is my favorite bible verse and for many reasons. 

Constantly from day to day this verse brings many questions to mind. Why I was put here on this earth? What reason do I have for being here? With each passing day I ponder what my purpose is for being alive.

Ultimately, I was put here on this earth to serve Christ my Lord. It thrills me to know that one day I will be standing in his presence and I will be before my Saviour living with him for eternity. 

Why this verse? This verse poses a question in my head that I never stop thinking about. 

• Am I trying to impress others?
• Am I being myself around the people I am surrounding myself with?
• Do I live my life according to His word?
• Do I think before I speak and take action?
• Why do I do the things I do and say the things I say?

These are just a few questions that go through my little head when pondering about this verse. 

Through reciting this verse, it makes me think before I speak and think about my actions. I need to be myself and live for the Lord not live to get the satisfaction of others. If I am looking for satisfaction in people, no wonder I have failed.. I have to look at the lord and be a servant for him. :)

also.. many things have been on my mind lately and being able to talk to a firm believer in Christ helps so much. Shows that God provides everything we need.. Here's a little of what my friend said to me and I thought it was great!

there will always be things that come up that you'll be concerned about.. but, our God can handle anything you let Him.. you have to let Him first though, and trust in His plan.. i will def lift that up for you.. and also that He will lead others into your life that will not only help keep you accountable, but you can help each other grow closer to God together..
