One Way Street to Success

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
(Proverbs 16:3)

There is a one way street to success available today. It is not about money, education, favor, or fame however. It is all about following God however. To be successful in this world, one needs to take his focus off of this world!

We all have plans and this is a good thing. We all have dreams. But who is really able to establish those plans? Who knows the future? Who really nows us best? Yes, we have parents who guide us. We have teachers that teach. We have mentors who can nudge us along. But ultimately it is God who knows how we are wired, where we can excell and how we should mature and develop. Why ot give our plans to Him for a little tweaking?

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
(James 4:13-15)

We really do not know tomorrow. Will it even be here? Will we be here? God knows . . . He has been there and back!

Do we really want what God wants? This is the only true path to success that lasts an eternity!
