LIVING IN A MANNER PLEASING TO GOD

Psalm 25:12

“Where is the man who fears the Lord? God will teach him how to choose the best.” TLB

I interrupted the study of having God’s best to meditate on other things as the Holy Spirit directed but we are resuming today again still looking at the subject.  From today, I want to highlight some things that if you live your life this way, this is what you will experience:

Psalm 25:13

“He shall live within God's circle of blessing, and his children shall inherit the earth.” TLB

Did you see that? You will live within God’s circle of blessing! So, these are the things to do:

1.     Give God’s word first place in your life. That is, put priority on spending time with the word by starting your day with the word and seek what God’s word has to say on issues and do. “By your words I can see where I am going” Psalm 109:105 Message

2.     Watch your mouth. Your words are going to come to pass. Your tongue holds the power of life and death in it. You have to choose which it will be. Will it be life or death, will it be experiencing God’s best for your life or just managing to live? 

“I'm determined to watch steps and tongue so they won't land me in trouble.”  Psalm 39:1  MESSAGE

3.     Live your life in a manner pleasing to God. God expects us to act like the new creation He has created us to become once we are born again. He expects His standards to become our standards, His purposes to become our purposes and his desires our desires. We are to love what He loves and despise what He despises.

“I beg you-I, a prisoner here in jail for serving the Lord-to live and act in a way worthy of those who have been chosen for such wonderful blessings as these.” Ephesians 4:1 TLB
