And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 (NKJV)
God wants to show you how to build the best life possible! He’s the expert, but we often ignore his direction.
If you have a passion for something, you’d probably jump at the chance to hang out with an expert in that field. Let’s say you love golf and you get the chance to play a round with the winner of the U.S. Masters. As you get ready to tee up, he offers to give you a few tips to improve your swing.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if you said to him, “Stop telling me what to do. I’ll play the way I want to!” No one who actually wants to get better at golf would respond this way, yet we do this with God all the time.
Instead of looking to him as the ultimate expert for every area of life, we think of his biblical principles as limiting, and we even accuse him of trying to ruin our fun.
Meanwhile, God is always out for our good. His principles show you how to build a marriage that will rock your world, raise kids who will honour you and live with love and laughter all their lives, develop a phenomenal career and create great friendships.
God’s Word helps you to be a better friend, spouse, child, student, employee and parent. The principles you can learn from it aren’t designed to condemn or limit you; they were recorded to help you live a great life.
God loves you more than you’ll ever know. Look to him for the expert advice you need to build the life of your dreams.
