Observe the requirements of The Lord your God, and follow all His ways. Keep the decrees, commands.........so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go.
1 Kings 2:3
NLT Bible
Everyone wants to be successful in their endeavours and the only way we can be assured of this is through obedience to Almighty God. He has promised us success, but it comes with a prerequisite.......obedience. We cannot achieve success when we do things our way, in our strength, taking shortcuts, being dishonest or 'walking over others' to get to the top. It comes from living according to the precepts God has set before us and putting Him first in our lives.
Sometimes we may become tired because success seems to be evading us and our dreams are not being realized. This verse tells us that if we obey God's decrees and commands, we will be successful in all we do. That's His Promise and it will happen in His time, so we cannot give up. We may have to evaluate what we are doing to ensure that it is part of God's plan for our lives. Success also requires perseverance, diligence and of course, honesty and integrity in every single activity. God wants us to be successful, but it can only happen when we are obedient and follow His ways
Thank you Lord for Your decrees and commands. Help me to be obedient, to follow Your ways so that I can be successful in all my endeavours. Let me never be dishonest, but help me to walk in integrity. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
