Discover how Ephesians 6:6 encourages us to focus on serving the Lord rather than seeking approval from people. A devotional for Christian women and teens. In a world where everyone seems to have an opinion, trying to please people can feel like a never-ending task. As Christian women and teens, we’re called to a higher standard—not to seek the fleeting approval of people, but to serve with a heart fully focused on pleasing God. Ephesians 6:6 reminds us: "Do not work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart."
Living by the Spirit In a world that constantly pulls us toward its priorities, desires, and distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Romans 8:5 offers us a powerful reminder: “For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.”
In this verse, the author of Hebrews reminds us that God’s knowledge is absolute and complete. Nothing—no thought, no action, no secret—is hidden from His sight. This is both a sobering and comforting truth. Sobering because it reveals that we cannot escape God’s gaze; there is no place where we can hide our sins or our brokenness. But comforting because it means that God knows us fully, intimately, and still loves us in spite of ourselves.
