What is necessary for those who have reached adulthood, and for all people, to have a blessed Christian life?
The first is not to spend time worrying. People are prone to worry. But even if we worry, nothing changes. We should walk in trust and surrender to God while believing that He is taking care of us.
The second is to put the First One first. Jesus told us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. When our priorities are out of order, everything can go wrong and we will have all kinds of problems.
The third is to walk by bringing faith into practice. If we do not do so, we will walk like people of this world. It is important to practice faith in God by reading the Word of God and receiving encouragement and guidance from the Holy Spirit.
A new year has begun. What kind of Christian life do we want to have? If we are not careful, our walk will not be different from that of this world. Let us practice faith given by the Lord and live a vibrant and blessed life!

<The Verse of the Bible>
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you — you of little faith?
Matthew 6:30 (NIV)
