A Lot to Live For

Jeremiah 22:3 This is what the Lord says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent!

Looking at this verse, it is a great way to start off the year with the right perspective. We know that we live in a dark and dying world. Fortunately, we have a God that loves us unconditionally. When I look at this verse, I think about how many opportunities we have to make a difference in people’s lives. We have a lot to live for.

The Lord wants us to be fruitful and prosper according to His ways. When we live the right way and we stand up for people that are being mistreated, God sees our good deeds and will honor our efforts. Who are some people you can help this year that has a need you could meet?  

God never lets any good or bad deed go unnoticed. God will bless and discipline us when we do good and bad things. When we belong to God, our life will change. God will hold us accountable for everything we do good or bad. We have many needs all around us. We have to be looking for ways to influence others in a positive way and help them when we have the chance. Part of living for God is by letting ourselves be a sacrifice so others can be blessed as well.
