TGIF

8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9 
for he satisfies the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.

Psalm 107:8-9

I was talking to someone from Village today about a family member who has made a mess of their life. They are in an abusive relationship and now there’s a pregnancy involved.

It just reminded me. How good it is when we live God’s ways.

Hear me well. I’m not saying Christians aren’t messy. I’m not saying that Christian’s can’t be in abusive relationships or end up with unplanned pregnancies and so on.

What I’m saying is. When we do trust God and live His way. Life is better.

When we do sex His way.
When we do relationships His way.
When we do work His way.
Or friendship.
Whatever.
It’s better.

And this makes me thankful. God’s ways are not great for a few people and terrible for everyone else. They aren’t idealistic and unworkable. They are good.


Today:

• Have you seen an example of the fallen nature of our world?
• Are you thankful for God’s way of living today? How?
• What is one area of life where you need to live more like God’s ways?

 
Pray:

• Praise the Father that He is good and so are His ways.
• Give thanks for Jesus who shows us what a good human looks like.
• Ask God for His Holy Spirit for you and others to be thankful for God’s ways.
