HOW TO PLEASE GOD AND BEAR GOOD FRUIT
That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; Colossians 1:10
Because of our carnal nature, we are not able to walk worthy of the Lord, even after becoming Christians. It is important for all of us to realize that we need to constantly grow in our relationship with Jesus and improve in all areas. The main thing is to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s will to us, as we study the Bible, so that we may grow in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
The more we relate God’s wisdom in all aspects of life, the more secure we feel and the clearer we see the solutions for all issues. We may also better understand what is going on behind the scene and can thus evaluate things more accurately, suffering less and being less confused about what is going on around us.
To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him is the key of the true Christian life. We are to shine for Jesus, allowing people to see Him in us in everything we say and do. While our behavior is lined up with God’s Word, we bear fruit in every good work that we do and grow in the knowledge of God.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for preparing the way for me to live in a manner worthy of You, pleasing You in all I am and do. Please help me choose right all the time, and change all that You do not like in me or in my life. Lord please reveal me Your will, so that I may shine for Jesus. Please help me to keep a right heart in every good work that I do, so that I will bear fruit and gain heavenly rewards for them. My goal is to grow in the knowledge of You, to become more like Jesus and please You in all that I am and do, but I cannot do it alone, so please help me dear Lord. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
