YOU CAN EXPERIENCE GOD’S BEST

“Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.” Job 22:21

None of us wants to miss the blessings God has planned for us. If asked, we would say we want to receive every one of the gifts He desires to give us. However, because of the choices we make, we often miss our blessings. Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years because they chose not to enter the Promised Land. Though the Israelites were on the brink of tremendous blessing, the leaders forfeited the outpouring of God’s goodness, not only for themselves but for the whole nation. (Numbers 13-14)

   The Christian life is one of surrender and obedience, not independence and rebellion. To live such a life means bringing our choices to God and being prepared to accept and submit to His will. Remember, His way is always best because it comes out of the goodness of His character.

   To choose God’s best also requires learning how to listen to Him. Too many times we present our requests and leave before giving God time to answer us. Hearing God speak to us is one of the most powerful experiences. The voice of God brings certainty, direction and courage.

   God wants you to experience His best this year. He also wants you to be the best you can be. But it will take your willingness to follow His ways, and your obedience to His voice. If you will submit to Him and align your ways to His ways, you will find success and prosperity.

Prayer: Lord, help me surrender to Your will so that Your prosperity may come to me.

Scriptural Reading: Job 22:21-30

21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you.

22 Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents.

24 Then you will lay your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.

25 Yes, the Almighty will be your gold And your precious silver;

26 For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God.

27 You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows.

28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save the humble person.

30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;

NKJV
