The Good Life

5/15/2015

0 Comments

 
"For, 'The one who desires life, to love and see good days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.  He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it.'" -I Peter 3:10-11 (NASB)
It seems that many people are seeking the secret so living the "good life".  Sometimes we can get caught up in trying to find the things or people that promise an easy path to bettering our lives.  Some people are even willing to pay large amounts of money or travel great distances to discover some unknown secret.

We don't have to travel or search or pay for the secrets of living a good life.  The Bible gives us guidance for finding what we are searching for in our lives.  The Bible tells us of God's never ending love.  The Bible tells us of Jesus' sacrifice so we can be redeemed.  The Bible also gives us pointers that we can apply in our lives, like the advice in I Peter (3:10-11).  To live a good live we need to love and do good, avoiding evil.  While it may sound like simple, common sense advice, it can be harder to put into practice.  Fortunately, God is patient and willing to help us along our journey!

Avoid evil, seek love, do good, and allow God to show you the good life!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me and being patient with me.  Help me to avoid speaking evil.  Help me to seek love and doing good so that I can live the good life in You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
