Tim Cain, pastor at Kaleo Church in El Cajon, California, reminds us how easy it can be to fall down the slippery slope of envying those living "the good life" in the world around us. The psalmist in Psalm 73 starts off in that direction, wondering where is God when the wicked prosper and have lives of ease, while His people suffer. It's not until he enters God's sanctuary that he is reminded that the truly good life is wherever God is...and because of the gift of Jesus, God's presences is here with us today. Even in the midst of our suffering and sorrows we can truly life the good life as we wait expectantly for the glory that is to come.

The Good Life - Notes

God's strength is displayed not through earthly power, but through weakness. He came not as a superhero or a conquering king with an entourage, but as a helpless baby born to poor parents in a lowly town. This was God's plan to show that He is stronger than sin and death! Like Mary, who believed God's promise despite her humble status, we are called to trust in God's faithfulness, not our own strength. Faith is believing that God will fulfill His promises, even when we are weak or don't understand.
