YOUR BEST LIFE

Ecclesiastes 1:8
No matter how much we see,
we are never satisfied.
No matter how much we hear,
we are not content.



Do you want to get more out of your life? There’s a story that I'd heard about a poor man who went to his King and complained about his state of poverty: “These rags are all that I have.” The king proceeded to offer the beggar riches, pleasures and honor with one condition: “Give up half of what you now possess: give up one of your two boys, one of your eyes, one ear, one hand, one foot.” The poor man realized that he actually possessed quite a bit and that he had failed to appreciate what he had. The Apostle Paul was an attorney that studied under the tutelage of the best legal luminaries of his time, and I believe that at his height he was a wealthy lawyer. When he met the Lord on the road to Damascus, his view of wealth was changed. In Philippians 3:8 he said, “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ.” If you’re looking for more out of your life, you’re going to find that the best that you have in you begins with a life in Christ.
