Do your desires of pleasing Jesus are really making Him relish?

• Pro 19:2 -> “Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.”.

There is a saying that says: “what it is important is a sincere heart, good intention”. Nonetheless, read the excerpt below:

• Rom 10:2 -> “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.”.
• Ecc 5:1 -> “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.”.

Many people desire to serve Jesus. Nonetheless, instead of seeking out to hear Jesus’ voice and figure out His will for them, they follow only commandment of religious leaders (Mark 7:7). Hence Paul said:

• Eph 5:17 -> “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”.

Even to love, we need ken and discernment:

• Php 1:9 -> “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,”.

After all, there is time to everything:

• Ecc 3:5,8 -> “a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”.

The desire to serve Jesus and glorify His name is good. Nonetheless, if we don’t have knowledge about what He wish from us, we can end up displeasing Him or even fight against Him.

So, have a good day hearing Jesus’ voice so that, at every moment, you can do exactly what will make manifest that He is alive and outright interested in our true good.
