God Wants You to Have a Good Life

God wants you to have a good life. He wants us to have a sweatless and stress-free success life; all we have to do is to focus on seeking the kingdom and His righteousness.

[Matthew 6:33 KJV] “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(Read Matthew 6:22‭-‬34¹ KJV)

God wants you to have a stress-free life and the simple secret to that stress-free life is to focus. The light of the body is the eye, so if your eye is one then great is your light. God does not want us to have a divided attention. He wants us to focus on the kingdom and on righteousness.

Many who went away to find riches fell into many foolish and hurtful lust. They pierced their souls with many foolish lusts, but as we focus on serving the Lord, He adds to us all the things that the world seeks after.

We know that godliness with contentment is great gain.

[1 Timothy 6:6-19 KJV] “But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. [9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

[12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. [13] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; [14] That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: [15] Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; [16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

[17] Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; [18] That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; [19] Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life”.

God will surely give us a good life. I have no doubt at all. We should just focus on serving Him to our full potential.

As we focus on:

1. Seeking the Lord daily in prayer;

He will perfect that which concerns us. “He will show us great and mighty things which are unsearchable” (Jeremiah 33:3²). The many revelations that will begin to flood your soul will lead you to success (Isaiah 45:1-3³). The force of Prayer will lead you to discover true riches.

2. Gathering before Lord;

His doctrine will drop and distill upon us as rain (Deuteronomy 32:2⁴). We are the planting of the Lord’s righteousness (Isaiah 61:3⁵). As His word comes to us, it makes us fruitful (Isaiah 55:10-11⁶).

3. Reaching to the lost and afflicted;

We are lending to the Lord and making investments that have good returns.

4. Working on our businesses to prepare our work without;

We grow prosperous and fat (Proverbs 10:4⁷). The diligent leads and bears rule. The diligent prospers.

5. Set and pursue life development goals.

Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint (Proverbs 29:18⁸). Indeed, by much slothfulness, the building decays. (Ecclesiastes 10:18⁹)

Remember that God wants you to have a good life. He wants us to have a stress-free good life.

Stay blessed; I love you!

1. Matthew 6:22-34 (KJV): The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. ↩︎
