Have a Good Life

Scripture: Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:12-14 NIV

Observation: Good instruction for life.

Application: The Psalmist gives us good instruction for life. Throughout the bible we see how to love the Lord, live an upright life and there-by obtain the prize of eternal life. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that we are earning our way to heaven. I’m saying that when we love the Lord and claim Jesus we live an upright life, then eternal life is our reward. The passages in Psalm 34 give us great instruction for how to live a peaceful existence with those around us. If we want to have a calm existence with our neighbors we must guard our speech and flee from Satan’s influence on our attitude.

Prayer: Father, help me to watch what I say so that I don’t offend others. I want to live peacefully with those around me. Lord, please continue to protect me from any influence Satan tries to exert over me. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

Purpose

Our blog is written from our life experiences in hope of helping others know and believe there is love, forgiveness, and deliverance found in Jesus Christ. No matter where you have been or where you are headed Jesus provides hope and freedom from the challenges we face living in this world. Through the power of the Holy Ghost we are anointed and gifted to carry out the work of our Lord Jesus Christ has set before us. Jesus has put a song in our heart and a story to tell about His great love and how He wants to free you from spiritual, emotional, and financial bondage put upon you by the world. It is our prayer that our blog will help those searching for answers find them in Jesus.

Life Scripture #2

And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5 NIV

Life Scripture #3

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long...we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35-39 NIV
