Samuel 15: 24 KJV “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have
transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the
people, and obeyed their voice.”
A
people pleaser, Saul admitted to Samuel he actually listened to the people. I
also do that sometimes. I think it is because I want their approval or I want
to please them, I may even be afraid of them and will obey just to keep the
peace.
Picture
this, I work in an office and we are audited every year. The Auditors will come
to the office and ask to see a number of files.
The will go through the files and make copies of all the documents and
then they will leave. They do not say a
word. We wait to hear the outcome of the
findings. A meeting is called and we are
asked to attend the meeting. The Auditors will bring their findings and tell us
about the mistakes they have found. They will highlight problems they have
identified and then they will give their thoughts and findings.
Good
Audits are what we want and we don’t want to have to hear about mistakes and
problems. We worked hard to avoid these
kinds of findings. But human error does occur
and we make mistakes.
I
say God is going to call out your name, ask the angels to bring all your files
and place them on the table. God will go
through your file and look at what you did, what you said and how you reacted
and treated people. I believe that God will be doing an audit on each of our
lives. Then God will give His finding and a judgment will be made.
None
of us can escape death; we cannot get away from this appointment. Reading Hebrews 9 verse 27 KJV “And as it is
appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
On
judgment day will you be found worthy to enter into heaven and enjoy a full and
eternal life?
Prayer
O
LORD, we are people please at the best of times. We try to get the approval of
man and we want to impress people we don’t even know. Why we act like that I
believe is because we have forgotten who we are in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our
identity is blurred and we struggle to maintain our true identity in Jesus
Christ. We humble ourselves before You, LORD, forgive us if we have offended
You. Forgive us if we haven’t obeyed You. In the Holy Name of Jesus
Christ. Amen
