In every place, in every circumstance, in every
undertaking, the Christian should ask, "Is
this pleasing to God?"
God is pleased or displeased with every thought we think, with every word we speak, with every action we perform, with every emotion we feel.
Perhaps we do not sufficiently realize this. We think, speak, feel, and act without ever considering whether we are pleasing God, or not. But this ought not to be, for He gave us our being, redeemed us from sin and damnation,
called us by His grace, and has blessed us with innumerable and interminable blessings, and all that we may glorify Him!

And how can we glorify Him but by
habitually aiming to please Him? If we forget or lose sight of this, we
forget and lose sight of the principal end of our being, and well-being.
