How to live "The Good Life"

Good Life, The

Should we all live in terms of our own desires? Would that give each of us "The Good Life"? If so than, for most of us, each of us must work for someone else because family businesses will be extinct and everyone knows that one man cannot do it all in order to make a business successful. We would each have to pay a rent or mortgage, electric water, internet, .... We would each have to pay car payments, insurance and all the other expenses that go with maintaining a car. We would each have to pay for someone to care for us as we age and get sick.

The Good Life is not in terms of our own desires. It is about others. It is about the regeneration of the entire creation. It requires a standard and a sovereign. It requires God. In and through God is The Good Life. It may not be an easy life but it will produce and leave an inheritance greater than our understanding and we will all have justice in our lives.

Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
