Who Am I REALLY Trying to Please?

Today's scriptures and devotional are so "refreshing!" They make it clear that we can try have a choice: to try to meet the many expectations and please those around us - or relax in the Presence of our Lord. As I read these words, I began thinking about all the time I have wasted trying to please others rather than taking that time to enjoy God's Peace and love. 

The scripture from Philippians 4 is one of my favorites. It gives me the reassurance that I don't have to worry - even though I often forget that Promise! I cherish the thought that "...the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Do you ever feel that God is truly "guarding" your mind and heart? It is only through the "Spirit of the Living God," that He will fill us with His Peace. I hope that you listen to and read the words of this beautiful hymn during your worship time today.
