God’s Pleasure in You

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Rhythms of Life". A reminder that your life, like all natural occurrences, follows a rhythm; the way you talk, walk, breathe, even your heartbeat. Discover this rhythm, get into its groove and align it with the Lord’s purpose for your life.

In contemplating Ephesians 5:8-10, an emphasis is placed on the phrase “Find out what pleases the Lord”. When you discover what is pleasing to God, embrace it wholeheartedly, just like the message from an old Nike commercial encourages: Just do it!

Interestingly, you’ll find that many of your passions align with God’s pleasure. Psalm 37:4 prescribes that you delight yourself in the Lord and He will grant the desires of your heart. Whether you're passionate about playing drums, hiking, or anything else, embrace it. Channel these passions into acts of worship, for you can feel the delight of God in them.

Imagine being on a mountain top, in awe of God's creation, feeling His majestic presence. When in this state, the issues of life seem minuscule compared to God’s grandeur, reminding you that He is with you, helping you rise above life's challenges.

So here’s your takeaway: find out what pleases God and engage in it. In doing the things you love while serving Him, you not only feel his love, but you also receive His divine affirmation and guidance. Consequently, He opens up doors and opportunities for you because of His love for you. So, immerse yourself into God's rhythm for your life and find contentment in pleasing Him.
