Is God's way really better?

This question might be a question that some of you might have thought before or maybe even struggling with now. The question of is God's way really better came to mind because of what My Pastor said on Sunday and what I read yesterday. My pastor was talking about how God isn't always going to sit back and just keep letting our society and our morals stray further and further away from what He said they should be. I've thought before that I know that God is going to have the final say and judge the world for their sins but when looking at all the people around me thriving and living "good" lives yet there are in so much sin is kind of a hard thing to swallow. I've asked the question; why am I not as successful as those who don't follow you when I've devoted my whole life to God? When that thought runs through my mind I've also thought that maybe I can just live the life the way my flesh wants to and once I get to where I want to be then I live the way God wants me to. That kind of dumb thinking is caused by seeing all those people around me that reject God yet are still living the "good" life. Now here's what separates us from the rest, we know that God can and will bring judgement to those who reject Him. We know that He's not going to extend mercy and grace when that time comes. The hard thing about this is we don't know when He will do all that, but the fact of the matter is we do know it will happen.
So the reason why this question came up beside of what my pastor said is because of what I read in my devotion yesterday. I read Leviticus 26 and in that chapter God lays out what will happen to those who chose to obey Him and what will happen to those who chose not to. After reading that my answer to the question is simple, YES!!! God's way is better. Right now we may see that things aren't going our way or that people aappear to be living a better life but that's all smoke and mirrors. They have happiness in things that will get old and lose their flair, but we have joy in things that are eternal. I challenge you to read Leviticus 26 and see how gnarly of a difference their is between the two choices and I bet you will come to the same answer I did, not because I'm smart but because God's way is.
So my prayer today is that we would chose God's way. I pray for guidance and direction for the Lord's path. I pray for faith and strenght for us to let God be God.
