The Good Life
Be completely faithful to the Lord your God, love him, and do whatever he tells you. The Lord is the only one who can give life, and he will let you live a long time in the land that he promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 30:20 (CEV)
What do you think would be a good life? All the money you want? A big house? Lots of toys and friends?
Or how about being healthy, having a happy family, and staying safe?
God wants the best for each of us, but that doesn’t always come in the way we want. What God does promise- is abundant life, if we choose to obey Him. What’s "abundant" life? It’s a life overflowing with love, joy, and peace, and it is also a life of hope in the midst of hard times. Through the good and the bad, we can still live life abundantly when we trust and obey God. Even after this life, we know we can have eternal life with God, and a home in heaven where there is no pain, sorrow, evil, death, or goodbyes.
Doing things our own way leads to a life of selfishness, loneliness, hate, greed— all the bad stuff. God gives us a choice: do we want to love Him and obey Him or live life all on our own? What kind of a god would give us a choice? A truly loving one!
Will you choose the good life today? Tell God about your decision. He’s waiting and will be so thrilled to hear from you!
