Many times in life, we'll be caught in dilemma and be torn between decisions, not knowing what to do or how to proceed in order to try to please everybody... We always try our best to make things into a win-win situation, but most of the times, it is rather impossible to derive so.
Galatians 1:10 says "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
"No matter how hard you try, every decision you make will alienate someone in your organization. If you try to please everyone, you are pleasing nobody. Paul reminds us that ultimately, if you please God, either the truth will speak for itself or you will at least be doing the right thing in the sight of God. It takes wisdom and experience to know how much and how far to exercise this principle, but it is a good piece of advice that will serve us well."
Quoting from Dr. Albert Ting
Principal of Singapore Bible College
Note to self: "Whatever decisions you make, do take into consideration of whether would it be pleasing to God"...
