What harm is there ... ? ...

What am I to do? How am I to live? - There are always two ways of looking at these questions. 
We can ask, "What harm is there ... ?" or We can ask, "What glory to the Lord is there ... ?"
These are two very different approaches - the one, beginning with "what harm", and the other, beginning with "what glory"; the one, concerned with pleasing ourselves,  and the other, concerned with pleasing God. Jesus had something to say about this: "How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?" (John 5:44). What is Jesus saying to us here? - Real faith changes the way we live. There will be less "what harm is there?" and more "what glory to the Lord is there?" May there be less trying to get our own way and more walking in the Lord's way.
Here's a hymn that help you to choose the Lord's way rather than your own way:
