The best life to live is a thriving life full of faith. When you allow faith to control your life, then you have the proper perspective that God is in control. It doesn't change life, but it takes the pressure off of your life. It frees your mind from worry and anxiety that will stop you from making clear and righteous decisions.
When you start being more concerned about your witness in life over how your life looks to people, you are able to focus on God's perspective of your life. You start to understand that wealth is nice and makes certain aspects of life easier, but it is nothing compared to your relationship with God.
When you give your perceived control over to God, you will find yourself in fewer strife. When He is in control He moves or removes things on your behalf. It is human nature to want to be in control, so we have to fight our own nature until God's nature becomes more natural.
How you live your life matters. Protect your testimony because you want to protect your relationship with God, not because you like your life how it is. Protect the unity of your family, work, and church. Spend that energy that your gave to God on becoming more Christlike.
Living your life controlled by faith is living out your trust in God. That is the only way to live faithfully. Build your altar for God in your heart and allow your human nature to be the sacrifice to honor God. He will bless a faithful life.
Genesis 13, Matthew 13:11-15
