Understanding Conversations About Things That Matter To God

By Jason Hayes


What should I do to please God? This is a challenging question that most believers are usually forced to seek answers for in their spiritual walks of life. This has led many to hold debates and conversations about things that matter to God. It may seem easy but on in depth analysis it can be a very interesting and educating topic.

Trust; This forms a very important aspect of ones spiritual walk of life. In scriptural books such as psalms, it is emphasized that one should always trust in God in every situations and not rely on our own strength or even understanding. The scripture assures us that God will fight our battles and trample our enemies; we should therefore be courageous.

Compassion is very important. According to the bible Jesus came to the world to suffer for our sins a sign showing God appreciates and values acts of mercy. As a believer we should not be focused on just doing great things but instead remember the unfortunate in our society such as the poor. By serving them and making them comfortable we are serving God.

Humility; Its important to understand that in the bible, God sent his son Jesus to be born in the family of a humble carpenter even though he was the son of God. This clearly shows God values humility. Jesus farther demonstrated this by living a humble lifestyle. As Christians, in order to please God we should adopt humility as a daily practice.

God greatly values justice among those who are truly committed to him. In the bible, in the New Testament God appointed judges whose role was to help solve disputes in the most honest of ways ensuring his people received the fairness they deserved. This goes a long way in showing God greatly values an honest heart in all situations.

It is important to always remember what God has done to you over the years and greatly show gratitude. By doing this, one is surely going to please God; this can be elaborated by Jesus being glad by the one leper who came back to give thanks after he performed healing of the ten lepers in the bible. We should emulate this and always be thankful to God.

Obedience is very important for one to do things according to the will of God. On countless occasions in the bible God has used obedience as a requirement for them to accomplish what God desired; a good example is when Moses was told to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land even when he did not know exactly how to do it.

We can easily please God with our day to day lives; however, for one to please God, it must start from within. The desire should be a driving force and at times it may require you to have a change of heart a price worth paying as doing the things that matter to God is the greatest desire of any believer.
