And now He's pleased that you listened to Him and then acted appropriately.
If you'll bear with me, I'll share briefly the similar stories of two who faced temptations such as yours.
1. A pastor related this story of attending a pastors' conference in Philadelphia. As the day's activities drew to a close and with nothing scheduled for the evening, he said to another visiting pastor, "Say, the Cardinals are in town playing the Phillies tonight. Want to go?" Another attendee overheard and interjected heatedly, "You want to go to a BASEBALL GAME? Really? And you call yourselves Spirit-filled Christians?" Further discussion by the two astonished pastors revealed that this man had made baseball his idol and now had forsaken it completely to avoid relapsing; but now he also went overboard and projected his personal weakness onto others. After they assured him they were merely casual fans, the two enjoyed the ballgame after all.
2. Our Bible-study leader told us about the Christian whom he had challenged to develop consistency in Bible-study. Eventually, he achieved a string of having read his Bible on five hundred straight days, which he happily reported to the leader. The teacher realized the pride that was developing in this achievement and urged him to skip just one day's reading. Very reluctantly our reader complied, but then his Bible-reading became sporadic; his reason for reading had become skewed from becoming edified into setting a personal record.
That’s the problem. Even doing the right thing can turn into a prideful issue unpleasing to God. Jesus saw a lot of that with the Pharisees.
