‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.’ -Psalm 119:105
This is my favorite verse out of the entire bible. To me, it means that I will let God lead my life and will not allow myself to get caught up in meaningless, worldly things. My mind set is ultimately: more of him and less of me.
In my opinion, the most important choice a person must make in order to be happy and successful, is whether to follow God, or on the contrary, the world. I firmly believe that if a person decides to lead a life for the Lord, then he or she has made the best possible investment for his or her future and the future of their loved ones.
Sure, a person can go their whole life without even having an encounter with God and still become a millionaire. However, just because that person may live in the biggest house, drive the nicest car, and wear the fanciest clothes; none of these things can ensure true happiness. The only way to be totally happy and at peace with oneself is to have a loving relationship with the one, true God. He, unlike material possessions, can provide one’s heart, mind, and body with rest and a peace that is unsurpassable.
Likewise, if one is faithful and listens to God, He will provide one with success according to His will. Also, God is so loving and forgiving that He will cherish anyone who comes to Him. He will always be there when one is feeling down. In the same way, He will listen and love that person no matter what the circumstances.
Furthermore, in order to begin this wonderful journey with the Lord, one must accept his son, Jesus Christ, into their heart. Jesus died on the cross for all of mankind’s sins, and all one has to do is acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior. This is done by simply praying and repenting to God. If this is such an easy process, then why does everyone not do it? I cannot tell one the answer to that question because it continues to puzzle me daily. I guess it is like the quote says – ‘Only God knows why.’
Another great benefit of deciding to follow the Lord includes always knowing that one’s eternity will be spent in heaven. So in conclusion, the choice to follow God is, in my opinion, the most important choice one will ever make. Moreover, it is also a very wise decision considering God promises of happiness, success, and an eternal life in heaven.
