We often feel deprived in our decision to follow the Lord. We think that the Lord is keeping us from some of the joys and pleasures the world has to offer. The truth is, what the world has to offer leads to emptiness and death. God wants us to follow his ways because they lead to life (Ezk 20:11, 21). The negative effects of our idols (sex, drunkenness, gluttony, mammon, luxury, and pride) can be seen throughout our culture (disease, addiction, obesity, debt, apathy, and obstinacy). The Lord desires for us to have health, freedom, blessing, purpose, humility, and holiness…in short, life. Jesus came that we might have life, and have it abundantly! (Joh 10:10).
