Your best life ever!

Posted byoakhillcrossvillePosted inUncategorized
Good morning everyone,

Our theme for this month: “Selfcare”

Our Bible verse for today: “How happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk according to the Lord’s instruction! Happy are those who keep his decrees and seek him with all their heart.” Psalm 119:1-2 (CSB)

Our thought for today: “Your best life ever!”

What’s the secret to living your best life ever? The secret is that it isn’t a secret. Through the writer of Psalm 119 God told us plainly almost three thousand years ago that we would find our best life if we study His commands and keep them.

God has a good and perfect plan for your life. Jeremiah 29:11-14 assures us of this: “For I know the plans I have for you – this is the Lord’s declaration – plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when your search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you …”

That’s exactly what the Psalmist was expressing in Psalm 119:1-2. Make the effort to know, understand, and apply the principles for living that are found in the Word of God. Live by it. Then you will discover your best life ever. The fact is that the best life any of us will ever have will be the one lived in the center of God’s will. No matter what else you accomplish in life, no matter how much wealth and possessions you accumulate, no matter how much the world sings your praises and honors you with accolades, no life will be as good as the life you can have living in the center of God’s will for you.

You will also be your most effective in life when you are in the center of God’s will. The Holy Spirit will provide you with direction and power. He will make you wise, strong, tough, and resilient as you tackle the many challenges life throws at you, and you will be at your maximum effectiveness.

Let me say it again: The secret to living your best life ever is that it isn’t a secret. God has made clear how to do it. Seek Him with all your heart. Study His Word. Live by it.

If you would like a little more practical help in implementing the changes needed to establish the habit of living in God’s will instead of your own, I recommend the helpful little book “The Best Possible Life: How to live with deep contentment, joy, and confidence – no matter what” by Jim Murphy.

God bless,
Pastor Jim
