Be in the middle of the will of God. Ps 37:3-5 says to trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust Him and He will do it! Trust and obey! No other way! To be happy in Jesus! Stay right in the middle of the will of God. Doesn’t that sound easy? Just follow Jesus! Well, I wish I could tell you it is really simple, but it does take effort. It takes self control to stay in the passenger seat, and let God be at the wheel! If you’ve ever taught a child to drive, you know the white knuckles, and the clinched teeth, and the pretend brake on the passenger side that you push through the floor boards. It can be hard to let someone else drive. The great thing about God is that He has great driving skills. Most of us don’t like to give up control! We want to get behind the wheel and take over. When we yield to God, we can go where He wants us to go, and begin doing what He wants us to do. Let’s learn to enjoy God, and when we do, the Bible says He will give us the desires of our heart. It takes trusting, delighting, and committing to His plan for your life. With the short amount of time we have on this earth, let’s do our best to trust and obey….that’s the way to true joy and contentment. It’s also the way to a no regrets life!
