       Well, it’s true. I am about to turn 31 years old. As I am about to venture up into the 30s, and leave behind my younger years, I thought it would be good today to share some tips and advice to the young Christians out there today on how to try to live a successful, God-centered life—a life pleasing to God. These are some things that I have found to be beneficial over the years. Now, this advice is very basic, but I think that going over it will be helpful and can gear younger people in the right direction, and perhaps encourage those who are already on the right path. So, number one, read the Bible and pray to God everyday. If we are going to live successful lives, we have to be familiar with our Bibles. The only way we can do that is to immerse our minds in it preferably on a daily basis. Colossians 3:16 tells us, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (ESV). You don’t have to become legalistic about this, but you should read the Bible everyday. Now, I will admit that sometimes I will go through a book about the Bible for a period of time as my daily devotion. But the book should be talking about Biblical things, so that you are immersing yourself in the Bible.
