25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

MESSAGE:

Living a good life means different things to different people. To some, it is living like a king. To some others, it is having a lot of money, cars and big houses. Some also believe it is having plenty of food to eat and lounging over drinks while watching movies or playing games. However, believe me my child when I tell you that all of these are not the true definitions of living a good life, they are only additions.

The true definition of having a good life is having Jesus and living for Him. Do you know that God made us so that we can live for Him? Thus, any life outside Jesus is not good. How can one live for God?

You can live for God by first accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, then drawing closer to Him by studying His word. Spend quality time in His presence, especially in the early hours of the day. Talk to Him and wait to hear from Him. You will surely live a good life if you do these.

KEY POINT

No Jesus, no good life

HYMN: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing

1. “There shall be showers of blessing:”
   This is the promise of love;
   There shall be seasons refreshing,
   Sent from the Saviour above.

CHORUS
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2. “There shall be showers of
   blessing,”
   Precious reviving again;
   Over the hills and the valleys,
   Sound of abundance of rain.
3. “There shall be showers of blessing;”
   Send them upon us, Oh Lord;
   Grant to us now a refreshing,
   Come and now honour Thy Word.
4. “There shall be showers of blessing:”
   Oh, that today they might fall,
   Now as to God we’re confessing,
   Now as on Jesus we call!
5. “There shall be showers of blessing,”
   If we but trust and obey;
   There shall be seasons refreshing,
   If we let God have His way.
