What Do You Want From Life?
Security? Most everyone wants to be secure. But is one secure who has an abundance of material things laid up? “A man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). Real security comes from within; not without. God offers eternal security to those who lay up treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).
Contentment? Volumes have been written on how to be content. One volume has existed all along which has the answers. “But godliness with contentment is great gain — and having food and raiment let us be therewith content” (1 Timothy 6:6-8).
Happiness? Happiness is where you find it, and you can find it anywhere you can find God! “Happy is that people whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 144:15). “Rejoice in the Lord alway; and again I say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4). When the Ethiopian eunuch obeyed the Lord, he “went on his way rejoicing” (Acts 8:39).
What do you want after life — Heaven? Then obey the gospel and serve God faithfully! (Revelation 2:10)
