Yes, Lord!
A
“yes-man,” according to Merriam-Webster, is “a person who agrees with
everything that someone says: a person who supports the opinions or ideas of
someone else in order to earn that person’s approval.” Politically speaking,
this term is used to describe someone seeking to raise his or her own
standings, and the support they show is actually insincere.
|
Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of
God? Or am I trying to please man?
Galatians 1:10
|
In
today’s passage, Paul cautions against seeking the approval of man. He
continues, “If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of
Christ.” (Galatians 1:10) People are wavering, and their opinions are prone to
change, so trying to please them often results in wasted efforts. God, however,
is steadfast and unchanging. Your efforts to please Him will never go
unnoticed.
Instead of being a “yes-man,” work on being a “Yes, Lord!” person. Let that be your response when God calls. Thank Him today for Christian leaders who answer Him with a “Yes, Lord.” Then pray for more to recognize His sovereignty and be ready when He calls.
