Do Your Ways Please Him?

Daily Scripture Threshing for Monday, July 25, 2022


Today’s Text: Proverbs 16: 1-9


Key Verse: Proverbs 16:7 (NIV): “When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone’s way, he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

We all love the gracious blessing of God’s acceptance of everything we do — the works of our hands, the words of our mouths, and the meditation of our souls. We love to gain acceptance with God. The other thing we all need in our lives, by consequence from the former, is peace with men. Only God is the source of peace. It is only Him that assures and offers us a life of unalloyed peace. This wisdom writing is a pointer to why most people feel so unsettled and troubled — why they loose inner peace, run when no one pursues them, and see enemies everywhere rather than peace.


Our ways must please the Lord. By our ways, the text refers to our whole carriage and disposition in and to the course of life. Whoever neglects God’s way and set his feet in the depraved path of life cannot please the Lord. And he will find those feet sagging and running unnecessarily. But the way of the just man is not so. He is like a tree planted beside the waters. God keeps such from awry paths and accepts their prayers — so that those who hate them will begin to seek their favor. Friends, care less about men. Seek God’s good will;  and you will be surprised how you will grow in favor with men.


Quote for the Day: “Pleasing God is not a factor of impression or pretension. It is the consequence of acceptation. You are simply loving and doing God’s will, and He is just blessing you with peace.” (Simon Olatunji)


Prayer:  Dear Lord, make my life and ways please you. Help me to be genuine and passionate I serving and following You — in Jesus’ name. Amen.


With all my Love and Prayers,


Rev Simon Wale Olatunji, Ph.D.
