God is Better

Spending a day with God is better than a thousand apart from Him. This is not hyperbole. Being with God is more than a thousand times better than being with anyone else. Maybe you need this simple reminder today: whatever fulfillment stems from your community—God’s better. Whatever the extent of delight you experience in other things—God’s better. Whatever the satisfaction to be found in this world—God. Is. Better. You may be tempted to think you know what is better for you, but if anyone knows what is best, it’s your Designer. He crafted you. He authored your manual. He knows what is best for you. And because of this, true “success” isn’t found in any of the world’s metrics. It’s only found by living your life so that you dwell and abide consistently with God. That is where the best is to be found.

Reflect + Apply

What are you spending hours (or even days) on that is not best for you? If anything comes to mind, offer it back to God. Let Him speak into the allocation of your time.

Prayer

God, You know what is best for me, my family, my neighbor, my friends, and Your Church. I trust that fact about You today, and I ask You to be the master of my life, my time, and my schedule. Correct every misuse.

Sabbath in the Psalms

As our calendars fill and margins slim, the frenetic pace and pressure of life begin to generate a constant flow of anxiety, stress, and fear. If left unchecked, this unsustainable striving will disconnect us from the peace and pace God intended for our hearts. God established the Sabbath to help us counter the chaos of striving. Sabbath is a day or season, where we stop, rest, and remember who God is and what He’s done. It’s an opportunity to declare once again that our confidence and hope are in God alone, not our abilities or wisdom.
