Pleasing in His Sight

How amazing is it to consider that what we do might be "pleasing in HIS sight" ? ! According to Scripture that is what happens when we keep the commandments of God. In the third chapter of "How To Pray" R.A. Torre challenges us to consider how our conduct impacts our prayer life. Is it possible that how we live can influence how God responds to our prayers? 1st John 3:22 says: "And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight." Did you ever notice that when your children are behaving; and they ask for things, how much more willing we are to respond to those requests ? Torre suggests that our heavenly Father is no different. As we lift our petitions to the Lord today, let's ask the Holy Spirit to so direct our steps that the Father will be pleased. After all, if we. .  . " being evil, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" Matthew 7:11.
