*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*
DATE: FRIDAY 30TH MAY 2025
THEME:
*NOBODY CAN SATISFY ANYBODY*
MEMORIZE
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
READ
1 Peter 3:13-18
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You were not designed to meet people's expectations.*
MESSAGE
We were never created to meet people's expectations; that is God's job.
Unfortunately for God, He has not been able to satisfy the desires of "fallen humans" because they want what He hates...
This is why living to please people or to impress people is living in a fools paradise. It is a waste of time and effort.
It started in heaven, Lucifer faulted the holiest one who is without unrighteousness... and led a mutiny against the most high; His creator and boss because he was disgruntled about God's leadership style...
The father of the prodigal son couldn't satisfy his own son... he wanted more than staying in his father's house...
The people who ate miracle bread and fish from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ also shouted, "Crucify him."
Judas Iscariot, who was shown so much love and acceptance from the best pastor, was the worst traitor and betrayer in history.
*When your best is never enough, don't blame yourself for it.*
When people disdain and contem, your best efforts care not about it. You were not designed to meet people's expectations.
Remember, the bee lives only for 40 days and must visit at least 1000 flowers to be able to produce only half of a teaspoonful of honey...
To us, it's only a teaspoonful honey, but to the bee, that is his whole life's labour and earnings...
There is only one person you should strive to please; and that is God. Having done all your best to please God, bless the LORD for whatever reactions you get from men, whether good or bad.
This is the conclusion of the whole matter;
1. Discover purpose,
2. Live maximally to release your full potential, and leave the rest for God.
3. Follow peace with all men, and as much as it lies with your strength, seek peace and pursue it.
4. Maintain a pure heart and a conscience void of offence towards others.
5. Most importantly, live ready for the LORD at all times because the time is short.
Cheers and shalom.

HYMN
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand ;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.
3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood ;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
On ,may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne !
