At the core of who I am, my deepest desire is to please God before anything or anyone else. Before I try to please others—whether it’s you, my kids, or even my wife—I must first please God. Every place I go, every decision I make, I have to fear the Lord, seek His will, and desire to please Him. Holiness must encompass every part of who we are, influencing every question we ask ourselves. From the moment I wake up and put on clothes, to the choices I make throughout the day—whether it’s looking in the mirror, deciding where to go, what to say, or what to post—I need to consider if these actions align with holiness. Even the things I choose to watch, listen to, read, or click on should be approached with a heart that seeks to honor God.
