“Therefore we also have as our ambition...to be pleasing to Him.”  (2 Corinthians 5:9)

It has been said that if one aims at nothing he will hit it every time.  What is your aim today?  What will determine how you make choices that come your way?  What are you ambitious about today?  What are you aiming to accomplish?  Is Christ in the picture?  To be pleasing to Christ should be the aim of every believer.  Our ambition is to be pleasing to Him!  We should long to hear Him say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”  What differences will come in your life today if you seriously consider this aim?  It could be that temptation will be overcome, or some unhappy soul is encouraged, or some lost soul is saved, or the job is performed with excellence, or what the LORD has been calling you to will be obeyed in faith.  Do not wait until choices come your way and react.  Be proactive.  Aim at pleasing Christ!  Make Him your ambition.

Today is January 12.  Where is your aim?
