So as Paul spoke, his preeminent awareness was the gaze of God. His preeminent concern was the approval of God. All too often my preeminent concern is my presentation to you, to people. My preeminent concern is the approval of you. So who are you most aware of? Whose approval are you seeking? Whose test do you want to pass? Here is the sobering reality: Whom we are trying to please now will determine what we hear then. So let us now seek to please him. Let us labor, not merely with devotion, but with an awareness of divine scrutiny.
