Today’s Scripture
“I am shocked over how quickly you have strayed away from the Anointed One who called you to himself by his loving mercy. I’m frankly astounded that you now embrace a distorted gospel! That is a fake “gospel” that is simply not true. There is only one gospel, the gospel of the Messiah! Yet you have allowed those who mingle law with grace to confuse you with lies. Anyone who comes to you with a different message than the grace gospel that you have received will have the curse of God come upon them! For even if we or an angel appeared before you, to give you a different gospel than what we have already proclaimed, God’s curse will be upon them. I will make it clear: Anyone, no matter who they are, that brings you a different gospel than the grace gospel that you have received, let them be condemned and cursed! I’m obviously not trying to flatter you or water down my message to be popular with men, but my supreme passion is to please God. For if all I attempt to do is please people, I would not be the true servant of the Messiah.”
Galatians 1:6-10
Today’s Thought
When you make pleasing God your supreme passion, you'll find out real quick that it won’t please people. In following God, you’ll discover that you can’t make everyone happy.
Today’s Confession
Father God, pleasing you is the most important thing in my life. Even when it means not being able to please others, I will continue to place you first and not back down.
