Obedient Lifestyle

As we enter into 2021, I can’t help but wonder if this year will get any better. So far it still feels like nothing has changed. Why is this? I think this is a question we should all ask ourselves. I know we can’t stop the mask deal, shutting down small businesses or stop the rising anger but we can try to help them, we can change how we are living our lives, right? Of course, we can! Stop for a minute and look around you, look at yourself, what are you doing today? Are you worrying about going to a store? Are you worrying who’s going to be President or what is going to happen after or on the inauguration day? Are you sitting on your phone scrolling looking at all of the negative posts or news? How does this make you feel? Not happy right? Of course not, this is going to create anxiety, anger or something else negative. The first thing you need to do is shut off your social media and news from your phone, try not to look at it for 1 or 2 weeks and see how you feel. I bet you feel better. If you have to look at it for work then do so only for work, nothing else. See how this makes you feel. There are other things you can do besides sit on your phone. Read a book and learn something or take a walk outside, go hiking, ride your bicycle. Work on that book or project you have always been wanting to do and make a difference in your life as well as the people around you. Be known for your happiness and positivity. You don’t have to follow what the world is doing; it will only bring you down and those around you. This is a proven fact. I see loved ones that used to be so happy turn to these angry paranoid people because of it. I have felt the change in myself when I used to be in it, it was horrible! Then I stopped listening and watching these platforms and the news and I felt so much better, my energy even improved with adding walking to my daily routine. You can change if you want to, you just have to put in the effort, nobody will do it for you and it will be nobody’s fault but your own.

Have you ever tried reading the Bible? Like really studying it. It doesn’t have to be boring. There is a free online bible study that I LOVE doing. You can print it out here, it is in different languages as well. If you really want to know what is going on in this world, the truth that is, read the Bible and study prophecy. You will be amazed at what you learn and discover. There is so much out there that you don’t know, stuff that already happened that the Bible said would happen and of course the media won’t tell you about that because odds are, they don’t know either, and they probably wouldn’t even care or believe it because they are so wrapped up in this world. Click here to learn prophecy. They are so wrapped up in politics or what dress Selena Gomez had on last week or why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having marital troubles when they probably are just fine but if the news says they are then you will believe it and they know you will too.

So in order for anything to get better or improve in your life you have to take the first step. Try something different. Especially with God, He protects and helps His obedient children. Don’t wait around for someone to drop a box of money or your dream job on your lap, you have to work for it. Just because our world is messed up does not mean your life has to be too. You can make a difference in your life and in the life of others too. This is what we should strive for, happiness, and we can if we let God be in control. Just stick with Him and you won’t be sorry. You will probably lose some friends, or get made fun of but is Happiness not worth it? Is Heaven not worth it? I lost so many friends, and even family members who don’t talk to me anymore because I don’t like to drink anymore, their definition of fun is getting drunk and/or doing drugs. I would rather get a good nights rest and get up early and hike a mountain, ride a bike or something active out doors. It bothered me at first but now I understand these are the people I don’t want in my life. If you can’t respect my beliefs then I don’t want you in my life either, it’s that simple. Being healthy and keeping my mind clear is very important to me.

There is this verse from a song I know and these lyrics always stuck with me. “To get everything that you want in this life you have to put your beliefs on the front line.” It went something like that. This is very true. When you put your beliefs, especially with God first you WILL get everything you want. God promises us a lot of blessings.

Remember when everyone thought cars were going to be flying in the year 2000? Funny to think about it huh? LOL The only thing flying is the time. It is flying by so fast. Can you afford to waste any more time on nonsense?? We are not getting any younger. Start your journey today with God. You won’t regret it.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
