“with whom I am well pleased”. Have you ever given thought to being a servant for God every day of your life, not just on Sunday? What would this servant life look like? This life would begin with a heart desire to honor and glorify God – this life would seek to be used by God – this life would listen for that quiet small voice of God speaking to their heart and would obey – this life would stay in God’s word knowing it will produce fruit in a willing heart – this life would seek the best for others. Everyday we choose in our heart what we will desire. Keep God first.
Matthew 3:17
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased
2 Peter 1:18
For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 1:4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved
1 John 5:10
Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life
