Living Your Best Life – Jeremy Lallier sabbaththoughts.com

“Living your best life” is a popular phrase, but what does it truly mean? Many define it as maximizing happiness, comfort, and success. Yet Scripture challenges that assumption. The Bible repeatedly shows that blessing and ease are not the same.

James writes, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,” and Paul reminds us that “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” Scripture teaches that hardship, struggle, and even suffering are part of the Christian journey. Trials are not signs of failure; they are tools God uses to refine character and deepen faith.

Your best life is not measured by possessions, travel, comfort, or popularity. It is defined by alignment with God’s purpose. It is a life devoted to spiritual growth, resisting compromise, and cultivating the fruit of God’s Spirit. It is shaped by obedience, perseverance, and faith.

A life filled with good and joyful moments is a blessing, but their absence does not mean you are falling short. You are only missing your best life when you fail to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Make that your highest priority, and God promises to provide what you truly need.
