Pleasing the Lord
Pleasing the Lord should be the goal of every Christian. But pleasing the Lord carries with it a side effect that many don’t talk about. Proverbs 16:7 says, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him“. Living a life that is pleasing to the Lord is like holding up a shield, negating the attacks of our enemies. Not only that but it puts on display one of the primary character trails of our heavenly Father….peace. If you want to make peace with your enemies, strive to be pleasing to the Lord.
