IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY LIFE
Part 2
… “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it (1 Peter 3:10-11 NLT)
Do you want to enjoy life and have many happy days? Yesterday we learned that, in order to do so, we shouldn’t use our mouth to speak badly or to tell lies; And today we will learn three other tips to enjoy life and see many happy days:
- Stay away from evil. It’s important at this point, that we stay away from people who keep us from God’s purpose, that we read His Word to know what is pleasing to Him and what is not.
- Do what’s good, even though it seems that many don’t want to do it. You make the difference.
- Seek peace and strive to maintain it.
Problematics don’t enjoy life.
Don’t let quarrelsome people enter your inner circle, set limits on them, strive to cultivate peace and enjoy life.
The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”
1 Peter 3:12 NLT».
… «For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
