God Thinking LV - Life Is Like A Soufflé 8

"3     Quit seeking fulfillment outside of the will of God.

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

This third secret for having a fulfilled life seems as if it is not connected to the first two, but look closely and you will see that it can be no other way.

Catch this: If everything that God made was very good, and if everything that God does for you, in you and through you is good  - then if you are following God’s recipe for life, you will live a fulfilled life.

You have got to see beyond yourself to see the true implication of this prophesy. 

Think about this:

You have or have access to every material thing made

You live in the freest country in the world (If you live in America)

You have access to the newest and fastest technology on earth

You have the largest variety of quality foods on earth

You enjoy every comfort known to man

You have uninhibited opportunity

You spend hours and hours relaxing or resting or being entertained

You can come and go as you please

You have freedom to worship God

You have dozens of people every day taking your name to the throne of God, intercessors praying on your behalf

You have access to the best health care in the world

You have all that and more

You have good friends, family, instant travel

You have unrestricted communication

You have theme parks and time shares, some of you have two houses, new cars and boats

You know what?  Even with access to everything at hand, no matter how you mix it up - without God’s recipe for living, there’s just no way to make a soufflé (a fulfilled life). 

That’s why even if you owned the whole world and everything in it, it can’t bring joy and peace in your life, because - Contentment and happiness, a good attitude and genuine love, honor and integrity and self-worth, kindness and tolerance, patience and longsuffering, true joy and peace, all the things of God, aren’t found in things. 

Contentment and happiness, a good attitude and genuine love, honor and integrity and self-worth, kindness and tolerance, patience and longsuffering, true joy and peace is found when you follow God’s recipe for life.

Do you believe:

1     “Every thing that God made, was very good.”

2     Every thing that God does for you, in you and through you is good.

3     Quit seeking fulfillment outside of the will of God.
