God desires for our families to be whole, joyful, and thriving. His plans are filled with goodness—He wants us to enjoy a life that is full and abundant. Jesus Himself said, “I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). In stark contrast, Satan—the enemy of our souls—has a destructive agenda. That same verse reminds us that he comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. That’s the opposite of what our loving Creator desires for us.
But stop and think—why is Satan so determined to ruin our lives and tear families apart? It must be because of the immense value our lives hold. We are precious to God. We matter deeply. Our purpose is powerful.
Now that we know this, how will we choose to live? Will we walk in God's will—that we be well, prosper, and live abundantly—or will we, perhaps unknowingly, allow the enemy to pull us toward a path of destruction?
How do we know God wants only what’s best for us? Look at what He commands. His Word is not a list of restrictions, but a blueprint for abundant living. Take the Ten Commandments—they’re not about control; they’re about community, love, justice, and harmony.
Is there anything God has asked us to do that isn’t ultimately for our benefit? Even when life gets tough, Romans 8:28 reassures us that “all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.”
God has nothing to prove. He is already great, all-powerful, and sovereign. What He asks of us is never for His gain—it is for our healing, our peace, and our joy.
