To live a life that's bold, purposeful, and joyful is to confidently believe that God is always orchestrating your life for good. That belief gives you the courage and backbone to live the life He's called you to—a life that is open, free, and impactful in every sphere you find yourself.
I know that's everyone's dream. If given the choice, that’s the life we'd choose. While we can't always predict what life will hand us, there are three key ways to help us live boldly—even in life's joyful and sometimes challenging moments. Think of these as principles for bold living:
- Trust God
- Make intentional choices
- Cultivate a heart of gratitude
When we practice these, we tap into a life overflowing with purpose, joy, and divine favour.
Trust in God's Sovereignty
"…God rules in the affairs of men and gives it to whomsoever he will." — Daniel 4:17
That’s reality. As humans, we are limited—our best efforts are just that: our best. The real outcome is in God’s hands. He directs the course of history, orchestrates opportunities, and turns obstacles into blessings.
When we open our hearts and minds in faith to His sovereignty, every decision, no matter how small, becomes a channel for His power to flow. We can rest in the knowledge that God takes our momentary details and molds them into a beautiful picture in the end.
Key takeaway:
God rules through it all, and He wants us to trust Him. Let this knowledge give you confidence as you move boldly through life.
The Power of Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful force that can transform your perspective. Life may not always be as it seems—just like behind the scenes of a blockbuster movie, what looks effortless on the surface is often full of complexity. Similarly, social feeds can distort reality, making it seem like everyone has it better—but perspective matters.
When you cultivate a heart of gratitude, you:
- See life differently
- Appreciate both blessings and lessons from loss
- Envy less, embrace more, compliment more
- Release your soul to soar
A grateful heart sees the oasis in the desert and possibilities in the most challenging moments. By looking at life through the lens of gratitude, you free your soul to act boldly, knowing that whatever happens, God will work it together for good.
Intentional Godly Choices
While the first two points are about embracing God’s providence, living boldly also requires action.
Making intentional, godly choices propels you forward. These are choices aligned with God’s wisdom and principles. Even small decisions—like choosing kindness when it’s easier not to—can have a profound impact.
Remember:
- You cannot sow drama and expect peace
- You cannot recharge your mind if you do not rest
- You cannot grow or evolve without preparation and discipline
While we look to God for opportunities, we must also look within to make the most of them. Each of us has a dream—a vision for our future that God has planted in our hearts. By making choices that align with that vision, we invite the blessings that come through obedience.
Living Boldly Today
Today is a perfect day to restart and embrace the life you have—living boldly through:
- Faith in God's sovereignty
- Gratitude for all you have and haven’t
- Intentional godly choices that move you closer to your God-given dreams
When we walk in this rhythm:
- Challenges become opportunities
- Ordinary moments become celebrations
- Our hearts overflow with joy and peace
Live boldly. Live purposefully. Live joyfully—confident that God is always orchestrating your life for good.
This is not just a suggestion, but a call to action. Embrace it and see the transformation it brings to your life.
