LIFE WORTH LIVING

“Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.  Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.”  Psalm 119:36-37
         We live in a self-absorbed society where selfish gain rules the day.  The things gained are of a temporal nature for nothing in this world lasts forever. Satan makes everything this side of heaven so appealing and seemingly necessary.  Even Christians fall for his lies from time to time.  The key to ward off the worthless things of this world is to devote yourself to God and His word. There you shall find words of wisdom and instruction.  It’s in the finer points of our faith that we find those things that are worth living for. 
There is literally nothing in this world that can take the place of God and all He has to offer those who have chosen to believe in Him.  Scripture provides life-giving advice that can change the course you’re on and lead you to the blessings God intends you to have.  There are things in this world that are necessary.  Food, money and employment are all things that we need to sustain ourselves and our loving Heavenly Father sees to it that we have ample supply for the day.  It’s in our entertainment that we often find those things that trip us up.  The worthless things that on the surface seem harmless.  It’s up to us as individuals to determine which path laid before we take.
        There are many things we can do as Christians that are fun and even by the world’s standards considered normal.  We simply must take the time to size up these things against God’s standard.  Some things are harmless and some things can damage our testimony.  Seek the guidance of the Lord each day so as to avoid selfish gain and worthless things.  They lie all around us.  Live your life in the freedom God grants you, but be careful not to trample on His grace.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
