Focus your efforts on rejoicing.

Use examples of nature to cause you to consider the genius of God’s role throughout creation. You are supposed to love and fear God “actually living it out is challenging. It’s tough, and you’ve often take what God has given you for granted and “forget that you already have everything you need in Him and Instead of seeing your purpose as to serve God, you “live instead as though God is created for you, to do your bidding, to bless you, and to take care of your loved ones.”



Focus on how you can be serving God. Your life really is a vapor, a short span of time that you should be using to serve God and yet you still view life’s daily worries as important. Although being born in this world it’s human and normal to do so, worry is not really something supported in scripture; rejoicing is what you should be desiring to do. In Phil 4:4 it says “rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” it doesn’t end with “unless you’re doing something really important.” When you replace God with worrying you “convey the belief that you think the circumstances are more important than God’s command to always rejoice. In other words, that you have a “right” to disobey God because of the magnitude of your responsibilities.” It seems like a Good point to focus in on all your responsibilities; it’s an easy sin to fall in to. But Focus your efforts on rejoicing, when you do your worries become smaller in your mind you’ll learn more and more that essentially God is in control anyways.



 “The Son of God was born among the people whom God still somehow loves. While in this world, the Son taught His followers what true love looks like. Then the Son of God died and was resurrected and went back to be with God.”



The emphasis in your life is to be “obsessive” living for Jesus. This is offensive to many people in the world as it’s much easier to not be obsessed with Jesus. Don’t forget that, your “part is to bring God glory” and the point of your life “for others to look at you and your life points to Jesus.” Period. You can do this in a number of ways. If you are person that happens to be blessed with a lot of material possessions, “God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.” Having stuff is not a sin, but refusing to share what you have (selfishly hoarding it) IS.



Living obsessively for God involves taking risks that many are afraid to take. Don’t stop taking risks and be ruled by your fears of what could happen?” Some of the fear of sharing your possessions comes out of a fear of what might happen. “Sadly, many people die while living selfishly.”



Shine your light. LET THE WHOLE WORLD SEE. LIVE IT for the Glory of the Risen KING.
