1 Thessalonians 2:4

What's my motive? Paul writes in verse 4 that, "God was pleased to trust us with his message. We didn't speak to please people, but to please God who knows our motives."

Who do I seek to please?

Yesterday in church, my pastor quoted the following statistic: people will increase their output at work by 35% when a supervisor is watching them. This is definitely true of my students. Is it true of me?

One way I'd like to grow professionally is to increase by work rate to the level I'd achieve if a supervisor were there watching me.

Ultimately, God is always holding me accountable, anyway. I need to remind myself of this reality.
