It’s no secret that the world has its very own definition of what a good life looks like. It’s not enough just to have a job, you have to want to either start your own business or work your way up to CEO. We’re constantly told that we’ll know when we’ve made it in life when we have a better apartment, a bigger house, or when we can finally trade in our minivan for that sports car we’ve always dreamed of. But when we look a bit closer, that “good life” the world sells is pretty exhausting. And Paul said it best . . . all of the promotions, the endless hustle for more, the idea of chasing something the world thinks is better, all of it is garbage compared to what we have in Jesus.

Any accolade the world can give doesn’t even come close to the joy we find pursuing the one true God. But we have to recognize which life is truly “good” for us. Using your journal or a piece of paper, write down all the things you’d want to have in a life that you would consider good.

Where does your relationship with God rank on that list? What are some changes you can make this week to help you reach your definition of what a good life looks like for you?
