Greetings Balance Life Family,
The blessings of God are more valuable than silver or gold. They’re precious and priceless. There’s nothing we can do to earn God’s blessings but, there’s a lifestyle that you can adopt that’ll make you eligible to receive them.
The lifestyle that we adopt must start with the change that takes place on the inside, meaning a changed heart and mind. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5
It’s important to ask God to help us see things the way he sees them. We have to allow him to take control of our thoughts and actions. In other words, we have to be willing to put our lives in the will of God.
I used to think of God’s will as a “scary thing”. What if I didn’t want what his will was for me? As I began to grow in Christ, I realized that God’s will is best. Abiding in God’s will is the safest place to be. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 God has an excellent plan for my life. It’s better than anything I could think of. He loves me, so why should I be afraid of what he wants for me?
Don’t be afraid! Step out on faith and surrender full control of your life to God. Study the Word of God and learn what he requires of you. Ask him to make you sensitive to his voice, so that you’ll know what he wants you to do. There’s a blessing in obedience. Trust God, he has so many blessings in store for you, but if you don’t get into his will, you may never receive them. Your decision all depends on whether or not you want God’s blessings.
