Galatians 1:10 (NKJV) 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Trying to be a people pleaser instead of doing the right thing will cause us to feel pressure.
Feeling pressure in these situations is normal. And we must learn to pay attention to it.
Sometimes the pressure is too much for us. We feel like we are going to pop or blow our top. It’s uncomfortable.
Just like a Pressure Cooker, we must let the steam out if we want to get rid of the pressure.
How do we eliminate that pressure? We get to the bottom of what is causing it and eliminate the root of it.
If our pressure is coming from pleasing others, it will eventually exhaust us and take up a lot of our time.
God will help us by giving us wisdom about the things or people that are contributing to such pressure. Sometimes it’s the people closest to us.
We must be prayerful about the doors we have opened. Sometimes it takes closing the door before we feel any relief.
Most people today are dealing with pressure, and it is not healthy; not for our own health, or for our relationship and walk with God.
We can miss out on life and the good things that God has for us to enjoy if we are constantly feeling that we are under pressure, trying to please men vs. obeying God.
God must come first in everything about our lives, so let us be careful to put Him there and keep Him there.
