(Colossians 1:10) Please the Lord in every way.

The phrase in Colossians 1:10, “please the Lord in every way,” means to please Him in every aspect of our lives.

We are to please Him in all that we say and do.

In 2 Corinthians 5:9, the apostle Paul tells us that his goal in life was to please God.

This may seem impossible to us because we often think that pleasing God means perfectly keeping a list of religious rules.

However, pleasing God has nothing to do with trying to follow a bunch of legalistic rules.

Christian living is all about the attitude, motives, and passion of our hearts toward God—not religious performance.

God’s focus is on the condition of our hearts.

The way we please God is by stopping trying to earn His acceptance and instead authentically loving Him from our hearts.

We are to love God with an inner passion.

Let’s recenter our hearts to worship God in every aspect of our lives.

Let’s worship Him in our daily routines.

Let’s live a lifestyle that pleases Him in both our private and public lives.

Let’s pray Psalm 19:10 today: “May the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
