God Wants The Best For His Children
What would you wish for if you had
three wishes besides, of course, more wishes?
Throughout history there have been many stories of genies, leprechauns,
demons and other denizens of the supernatural that appear and make this fantastic
offer. It usually ends up badly for the
victim who thinks they can get something for nothing.
But what does God want for us? If we would ask God about His creation, He
might say that He wants the best that life can give us. He wants us to be in
health and to prosper (3 John 2). Our
Creator wants us to cast all of our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). Jesus Christ has an expected end for our
lives of hope and well being (Jeremiah 29:11).
He wants us to be blessed and prosperous
in everything that we do (Deuteronomy 28:8). He wants to be that go-to person that we first call upon when we are
in trouble to deliver us since He will never leave us (Psalm 91:15). The Eternal God, our Saviour, wants to guide
our path through life so that we can avoid things that needlessly hurt us. Finally, after we have lived an obedient life
before Him during our earthly travails, He wants us to live with Him in His
house forever (Psalm 23:6).
We can appreciate the fact that our
Saviour is not trying to trick us or shortchange us or deprive us of our
blessings. He truly will not hold back
on any good thing for those who love the Lord (Psalm 84:11). We have the
awesome privilege of being able to joyfully go through our lives knowing that
He does not want us to just have three wishes, but He wants to give us the
desires of our hearts. God wants the
very best in life for us.
