Genesis 1:25
“God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”
I was reading verse and on the side it noted, “People sometimes feel guilty for having a good time or for feeling good about an accomplishment. This need not be so. Just as God felt good about his work, we can be pleased with ours. However, we should not feel good about our work if God would not be pleased with it. What are you doing that pleases both you and God?”
This made me realize that sometimes I don’t acknowledge or celebrate enough on the small or big accomplishments I have made through hard work and perseverance. Often times, I would tell myself not to boast or brag because otherwise, it wouldn’t be a humbling thing to do. However, this made me realize that any accomplishments or actions that do not go against the works of God are meant to be celebrated and recognized with joy. Lastly, the last question in the application “What are you doing that pleases both you and God?” made me assess the activities I do throughout my day. And honestly, I didn’t have much that I could find that would “please God” nor did I find much to anger Him either. But that makes me so…NOTHING haha.
So, if you guys were to look at your daily lives, how much of it could you say would be pleasing to God?
