Live Life Abundantly!

What is the saying in the world? One is 'Be All You Can Be' another is 'Live Life To The Fullest. The idea is that we can accomplish this on our own. If it feels good then do it. This is so much the train of thought today. But God tells us that if we want life abundantly, we will find it in Him.
Isaiah; 55:2
(Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.)
Bread that is not bread is deceit. We think that we will find happiness in something and then find out that what we are looking for is not what we thought. Most of us have been through this before, whether we spent it on a car or something that we wanted, it still did not satisfy.
Proverbs; 20:17
(Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.)

What we really are seeking is a true and meaningful relationship with God. He is the one who can bring inner peace and satisfaction.
Matthew; 11:28-29
(Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.)
We are looking for peace and contentment and He has these to give to us. We don't always know what we are searching for, but God does know and wants to help us.

God is a loving God who wants His children to rely on Him. We will never find true happiness until we look in the right place. The world has much to offer, but it isn't what the soul of the righteous man is searching for.
Isaiah; 55:6-7
(Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.)

We are told to be a witness for Jesus and tell others about Him. Our job is to obey and plant the seed and God will make it grow. God tell us that His word will accomplish what He desires it to accomplish.
Isaiah; 55:11
(So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.)
When we are looking for real food, we need to be in the Word of God. That is where we will find real food. Then we need to take that real food and share it with others.

God Bless You!
