Whenever we do something in keeping with God’s character, he is pleased. We need to meditate and think on that. From the commonplace to the sublime – from the meal that we prepare for our families, to the songs we sing to Him, to volunteering at a soup kitchen. Anything done as unto to the Lord, and for his glory, he looks on with pleasure. Not that we earn our salvation by doing things that please him, because salvation is a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). That inheritance is ours – once we are adopted, we are his. But just like parents are delighted when their child does what is right and honors them, the Lord is pleased when we do the same.
So the next time you are doing a task that to you seems of little importance, try saying “God is pleased with me.” If we have the mindset of doing all for God’s glory, then all becomes sacred.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving Lord Christ” Colossians 3:23-24.
“You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
those who remember you in your ways” (Isaiah 64:5).
