Financial Discipleship - the Bible on LifestyleExemplo
There is a lot of pressure that comes with chasing worldly success. Some people live a lifetime of unfulfillment in order to achieve the life their parents imagined for them. Some people live a lifetime of sadness believing that “feeling” will change once they have money. And other people live a lifetime of being lost, because they thought everything they could ever get from life ends here.
But when you know that God’s plan is for us to abide in His house with riches that our minds cannot even imagine, there is freedom.
No longer is there the pressure to live a life of chasing worldly success. Because the most successful life anyone could live is a life spent inspiring others, giving to others and loving others. It is a life spent giving our best shot at living the way Jesus did when He walked this earth and fulfilling the purpose God has for our lives in advancing the Kingdom.
Pray: Lord, I know now that the path to success in this world is not of You. I know now that a successful life is one that seeks You first (Matthew 6:33) and what You desire for my life. I know now that, with You, I am content. And I know now that if I choose to desire Your desires for Your children, You will grant us our heart’s desires.
So, may I live a life that isn’t consumed by pleasing others, but directed at pleasing You instead. May my lifestyle make a difference in this world. A difference that changes others for the better. A difference that changes me for the better. A difference that brings light into the darkness. And a difference that wins more souls into the gates of Heaven. Amen.
