Straighten Out Your Life

Life has its ups and downs. Most times we need to compromise something, at times many things, just to stay ahead of the pack. Do we really need to compromise something to achieve fullness in life? No, we don’t! Life can be lived out in such a way that no compromising is necessary. Colossians 3:2 offers us a truth about this, an answer we need to hear… and understand well - “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Wow! Do you get it? The world wants us to compromise so as to achieve greatness. We compromise our marriages, our families and friends, our own health, just to achieve greatness. But God says differently. He says we need to seek Him and everything He has for us and all else will fall into place. Earthly lifestyles have limitations. God has none. He offers us an eternal life hereafter, but it can start today.

Now you may be asking how this is possible. God wants us to seek Him first and above the earthly things and He will show us how to live lives without compromising anything. Things from Him never have an ending while worldly things only have a certain time span before they end. Stress and tension is always around us, especially nowadays with the rat-race lives we live in. Long hours at work, less time for friends and family, travelling in strained traffic on the highways. Plus there is much more I won’t mention here. We become accustomed to compromise something so that we can move forward with our lives. We race our lives at warp speeds to achieve great wealth, above average success, more than we really need. Why? We want to better than the Jones.

We want more money, greater possessions, a bigger “name”, and it goes on. But at what price? Our health, our marriages and families? We tend to compromise in many of these areas to achieve our goals and dreams. God differs from this. He says that when we seek Him and His kingdom, all else will be added. Life becomes less stressful, less tension to destroy us and lead us into a pit. Yes, stress and tension are around us daily. Do we need to compromise anything to overcome this? No! God is the answer to all this. The devil wants to destroy us in any way he can, but God is a restoration Maker. John 17:14-19 tells us that we are living in this world but we aren’t of this world; unless the devil is ruling your life though. How can you change all this? One way only. Allow Jesus Christ into your life starting today. Let Him be your Ruler and true life Giver. Allow Him to show you the way to live without compromising. His ways are better, His thoughts are better – He is the best answer to your lifestyle. Make that change today, and live forever.
