A well known person once said something like, "you can satisfy some of the people all the time; you can satisfy all of the people some of the time, but you can't satisfy all the people all the time." That spawns a very serious question, who are you trying to please and how often? Who was Pilate trying to please at Jesus' trial, God or the masses? Who were the masses trying to please, the trusted leaders or God? Who are you trying to please, yourself, your peers, or your Savior? Answering that last question is just as crucial for you as it was for the masses and for Pilate about two thousand years ago. "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." - Gal. 6:8 (ESV) Who you are trying to please will either consecrate you or corrupt you! So choose this day to live in a way that pleases the Lord — not only is it the right way to live, but it also has eternal benefits!
