God's Best for you

Depending on where you are, what kind of person you are, or what you're going through, the title of this message could be reassuring to some or further frustrate others. After all, what's best doesn't always feel like it's best for us. The LORD says in Isaiah 55:8:

v8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. v9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

So, we are challenged then to begin to see life from God's perspective. God sees us through the eyes of eternity and purpose. Often times, we live our entire lives as humans never fully knowing our purpose or realizing our divine calling.

The cares of this world over take us and we begin to only focus on material needs and desires. After a while, what God wants for us becomes second to what we want for ourselves. We believe the desires of our heart are good for us and the reality is that our desires may truly be noble and harmless. However, our desire turns to lust. Many of us really do not know what lust really means. Follow this link to learn more: http://www.access-jesus.com/definition-of-lust.html

Once we begin to lust, our lust will lead to perversion. This is where Satan enters your heart. A once good desire for what we felt was "best" for us has now turned into lust, perverted ideas and obsessive behavior. The final step on this road is to become out of control which leads to utter rebellion against earthly authority and our God in heaven.

Let us learn and be made to know that God's way is the best way and that patience is necessary in all areas of life. Regardless of what we see or how we feel, God has a plan for us that is customized and intended to be His best for us.

Finally my friends, let us all learn to be content. It will keep us from evil and from making wrong choices that are sure to damage our fragile lives.
