God always desires our well-being. When we study the Bible, we understand that God wants to do good for us at every moment. He created this world to spend time with us. He is committed to blessing our personal lives.
If we look at the life of Joseph, we will see that God was always with him despite the many problems in his life. He had to work as a slave and was imprisoned, but God eventually raised him to a position of great power in Egypt. From this story, we can learn that when problems come into our lives, God has a better plan for our good.
In the teachings of Jesus, we see that God loves us so much that he cares for us. Jesus said that we are sheep and he is the good shepherd.
God cares for us and loves us, so he wants to live with us forever. The time we have on this earth is very short. In this short time, we need to live a life that pleases God. Since he always cares for our good, we should obey his word.
Let’s look at the following Bible scriptures that discuss God’s desire for our well-being.
