. . . Don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing – your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and He will give them to you if you give Him first place in your life and live as He wants you to [live].
If You Want to Live Well
What advice would you give to someone who asks, How can I live well in 2025? Some suggestions from people who had to figure things out as they tried and failed and tried again to live well in 2024 are –
- Remember you may have to juggle a whole lot of balls in 2025. Learn how to differentiate between the glass balls and the rubber balls. Don’t be afraid to drop the rubber balls.
- Get up and do something today that you will thank yourself for tomorrow.
- Don’t be afraid to step out in faith every day. But if you are, then try taking one step each day. Just that one step will get you 365 steps farther in 2025.
- It won’t hurt to ask. Shake that tree and see what falls out of the leaves.
- Find it in yourself to help someone else. Helping someone else navigate through rough waters might just help you to get through your own.
- Who cares? If you’re worried about something that really doesn’t matter and you know eventually you’ll ask, Who cares? – why not just go straight to Who cares?
- Do something you enjoy if you are going to procrastinate.
- It’s never too late to have a good day.
- Go to the doctor!
What Did Jesus Say About Living Well?
Thinking about these tips on how to live well in 2025 reminded us of a story about two sisters in the Bible, Mary and Martha. They were friends of Jesus. In fact, Jesus raised their brother Lazarus from the dead. During a visit to their home, Martha complained that Mary was shirking her hospitality responsibilities. How did Jesus respond?
My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!
There is only one thing worth being concerned about.
Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.
What had Mary discovered? That it pays to put GOD first in your life.
Putting GOD First
When you put God first – nothing comes before Him and His will for you. You believe that [God] your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well what you need to live, and He will give it to you. You’re not worried about what will happen tomorrow. You know that God will take care of your today and tomorrow. So, you just live one day at a time, trusting God.
IMPORTANT POINT – This Scripture does not promise that you will not experience the stresses of life. Life happens to everyone. But you have a guarantee from God that He will take care of you if you put Him first. What more can you ask for?
Make God your priority in 2025 and live well!
