Unlocking the Secrets of a Joy-Filled Christian Life
For over three decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside God, and I can confidently say that it’s been an exhilarating adventure filled with joy and purpose. If you’re not already experiencing this kind of life, I’m thrilled to share that it’s within your reach – regardless of your circumstances. Jesus promised a life of abundance and fullness to all who walk in faith and obedience.
The Foundation of a Fruitful Life
To start, you need to get to know God intimately – His character, nature, and the benefits that come with belonging to Him. Your perception of God has a profound impact on all your relationships. As Scripture reminds us, “The righteous shall live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). But faith requires an anchor, and that anchor is God and His inspired Word.
Cultivating Unshakeable Faith
So, how do we develop this kind of faith? The answer is simple yet profound: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Every time you read, hear, or memorize God’s Word, you’re building up your storehouse of faith. A correct biblical view of God is essential, recognizing Him as great, mighty, all-wise, and worthy of our trust. A small view of God results in a limited faith, but a great faith stems from a deep understanding of God’s sovereignty, holiness, love, righteousness, justice, and compassion.
Practicing the Presence of God
As you grow in your faith, you’ll begin to reflect God’s character in your own life. If you see God as a loving and forgiving Father, you’ll be compelled to love and forgive others in return. Today, take the first step towards experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, commit to practicing God’s presence in every moment of your day. Start by meditating on His attributes, storing His Word in your heart and mind. As you do, expect to experience and share the fullness of life with your loved ones.
Today’s Action Point
Through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, I determine to begin practicing the presence of God in my life – every moment of the day. I will begin by meditating on His attributes through storing portions of His Word in my heart and mind. As a result, by faith I expect to experience and share with my family and friends the full and abundant life which Jesus promised to all who are His.
