The Bible says God created literally everything. So knowing this helps me have great appreciation for nature and a deep love for people. Now I want to take care of the environment and help people. Therefore I find a sense of purpose which ultimately allows me to live life to the fullest. I'm having fun when I'm admiring nature or seeing people live up to their best potential.
Just read your Bible and apply its teachings to yourself. Really quite simple.
Every Word God has ever spoken is “In Righteousness” (Proverbs 8:8), and His Righteousness is only revealed in the gospel to those who will believe it from faith to faith (Romans 1:16-17, Galatians 2:21). This is how the child of God experiences the very Life of Christ (Romans 1:17).
Proverbs 8:7-8 says, that every Word that God has ever spoken is in "Truth and in Righteousness." According to the gospel that Paul preached, "Righteousness and through His Righteousness we have obtained like precious faith (2 Peter 1:1). This is the same faith that comes by hearing God’s Word (Romans 10:17). Righteousness is only awarded by God if our faith is placed and maintained exclusively in Christ Jesus and the Finished Work of the Lamb of God at Calvary Cross (Rom. 4:5). Therefore, no man or woman can see, hear, or understand if "Righteousness is not awarded and will be operating from a make believe and pretend salvation that Jesus says that they may have a name, but they are dead (Rev. 3:1). Everything they have and everything in their life will become a hinderance to them because of the "Law of sin and death." Confusion - conflict and death.
According to Ephesians 5:9, the "fruits of the spirit" are located in three areas; goodness, Righteousness, and Truth.
LOOOOOOVE the Holy Bible!!! lOOOOOOOVE God's Word!!! LOOOOOVE to read it, study it, meditate on it, ponder it, apply it to my daily life, share it with others!!!
The Holy Bible is like a secret cavern where it's FULL of hidden treasures - precious gem stones - emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, pearls, rubies, gold, silver, etc...... I meet there secretly with God, we talk, He gives me every morning what I'll need for the day and a little extra to give to others along the way.
It's such a secret book, so secretly hidden in plain sight......oh the wisdom of God....
Apply God's Word to our life and actually believe the Words of God. Without belief, you have religion.
Do the things that the heroes, the men of God, written about in the Bible do. See for yourself what happens, praise Jesus.
If the Child of God uses their own ability to do what the scriptures ask of us to do, we make ourselves a transgressor (Gal. 2:18).
How do we apply and believe the Word of God?

The Lord has written on every subject from sex to money, parenting, employee, employer, ECT. The examples that are there are how we should as believers in Christ be living. They are blessed and ordained by God.
Most of the difficulty is trusting in his word and being content in all things.
Remembering that the Lord is faithful to his word even if it is at odds with what the world teaches should be your focus.
Our God made all things out of nothing....he can make beauty out of ashes....he can restore that which is lost.
Is there anything that is to hard for the Lord?
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things will be added into you.
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways he will direct your path.
You have a God of the impossible. That loves you very much. He loves to provide and has no problem doing so

I think there is a fleshly look at life and seeing life through the eyes of Christ/God. I think the Godly way has the most true reality, a reality that is everlasting. I try to see everything, every person through Godly eyes.
It even affects the food I eat. I try to eat foods just as God created them with the least tampering with that humans do. I read scripture with God in mind, watching that man's fleshly ideas don't influence me but only the Lord.
I try to take nothing for granted, but constantly praise the Lord for it all.
When I saw the Grand Canyon with all its beauty and majesty it is an example of what the Lord creates, Or when I see family. God's beauty is everywhere, THANK YOU LORD.

Trusting the Lord at his word is hardly a religion my friend.
Unless some Pharisee among us wants to make “trusting in the Lord” a doctrinal creed we must obey or we are not saved and go to hell.....lol!
I’m so glad Yeshua/Jesus is Savior, Lord and King! Hallelujah!! Man is NOT in charge anymore and neither is Satan!
Hallelujah!!!! Praise God!!!
It is all there for anyone to appropriate. The how, why, what, and when.
The truth is that anyone whose Faith that isn’t in Christ and Him Crucified alone, then their Faith cannot be in the Word of God; they can only quote it and memorize it. You cannot trust in Gods Word unless we are trusting through the Blood of Jesus.
We must have our Faith anchored in the Work of Christ at Calvary. If that is not where our Faith is, it doesn't matter what we say what we believe or as you said, “trusting the Lord at His Word.”Trusting the Lord at his word is hardly a religion my friend.
And what makes you think that Christians are not trusting in the blood of Christ, and in Christ crucified, and Him alone? That is the fundamental basis of Bible Christianity.
