The best way

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
- Numbers 6:24–26

What is the best way to start and end the day? With the Word of God! In the Bible you will find words of strength and help to face each day. When we develop the habit of reading the Bible and praying, we notice a great difference in our lives as Christians. At the right moments, we remember the words of the Lord and know what we should do.

Setting aside time before the Lord, seeking His presence, strengthens our spirit and helps us prepare for the day with optimism and confidence.

But I cry to you for help, Lord;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
- Psalm 88:13

Read the Bible today and allow God to speak to you. He will give you the guidance you need to make the right decisions and live within His will every day. Talk to God, hand over your worries to Him, and wait on Him. You will feel peace, knowing that He is in control, and you will become calmer and more confident.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
– Psalm 5:3

Do as the psalmist did: talk to God and be attentive to His response. You will see how God will surprise you.

What do others say?

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
- Psalm 126:1-2

In these verses, we see that God freed the people of Israel from their captivity, and the joy they felt was tangible. They laughed uncontrollably, sang praises to God, and expressed their joy in such a way that others couldn't help but acknowledge the great work God had done for them.

Have you received the Lord’s salvation? Do you feel joy when you remember all that God has done for you? Do you have specific reasons today to rejoice in the Lord? Express your joy! Let the people around you see, hear, notice, and talk about God's work in your life. May they themselves witness the great things God has done for you.

Praise the Lord, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
- Psalm 117

Inspire others to praise God for what He has done in your life and for what He will do, both in you and in them, if you allow Him. God is a God of love and desires to bless all people and all nations. Let your testimony draw others closer to God, let everyone see the precious work He has done in you and choose to praise Him too.

Behavior that pleases God

We were created to have a relationship with God and to glorify Him. But He gave us free will, which means we can choose how to live. In the Bible we discover the kind of behavior that pleases God.

Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
- Psalm 1:1–2

If you want to please God with your whole being, it is important that you know what God desires of you and do it. It’s true that with the free will God has given you, you can choose. But, as you see in verses 1 and 2 of Psalm 1, you will be blessed or happy if you decide to obey God’s commandments and reject the counsel of those who rebel against Him.

What will be the result of living in a way that pleases God?

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
- Psalm 1:3

You will walk through life with firmness, bearing fruit that glorifies God. Your life will be a precious testimony of obedience to Him, and the Lord will prosper your way.

If you haven’t done so yet, decide today to live in a way that pleases God in everything. You will have God’s presence and help in every situation that comes your way.
