God’s Way is the Best  

A popular song written in the late 1960s talks about someone looking back over his life and proudly proclaiming that he did it his way. At five different times, the unidentified person declares in a self-satisfied manner that he managed life his own way. The song’s theme is the exact opposite of how God has called believers to live. As Christ-followers, we are to submit to God’s plan and live according to it. How do we go about living God’s way?

 

  • Give Him our attention. We are to set aside our agendas and focus on our relationship with God and what pleases Him.

     

  • Receive God’s directions. We must obey any steps He has already revealed for our situation. Being confident God will answer, we should continue to ask what the subsequent steps are. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

     

  • Act on divine command. This requires that we listen attentively to the Lord’s instructions. Learning to hear Him is a basic lesson in the Christian life. If we do not know how to listen to the Lord, how will we know when He has spoken? If we do not know what He has said, then how can we obey?

     

  • Accept what God provides as enough. God takes full responsibility for the life committed to Him and provides all that we need in order to obey. We are to act based on this truth (Philippians 4:13) even when our feelings say we have inadequate resources or skills.

    What do your choices reveal: God’s way or your own? Commit to making the song of your life “I did it God’s way.”

    DO YOU ?

    Do you ever feel discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have feelings of unrest and fear of the future? Does the thought of death and the hereafter haunt you?

    YOU ARE

    Are you looking for an unconditional love? Someone who accepts you where you are and loves you no matter what? Look no further than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
    1 Peter 5:7 NIV

    Never let the enemy tell you that you re worthless or insignificant. You have value in the eyes of God so great that it was worth dying for. You are a blessing to the world.

    Did you know God's forgiveness and unconditional love is available for anyone who asks?
