Formula For Success

"He who does these things shall never be moved."
Psalm 15: 5 NKJV

We all think about it. Some of us frantically attend business meetings with no results. Others read, listen, and plan for an effective work and home life. Yet, each year the results are the same. That elusive prize – peace, contentment, and joy - scurries away into the fussy darkness of our ignorance. Each year you and I plan the perimeters of our annual spiritual and worldly success. But still no change in our behavior. Why not make next year different? Why not succeed? Are you ready for your challenge?

It is a simple formula - "He who walks righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart." Psalm 15: 2 NKJV. Did you catch the message? According to this verse you need to review your actions - walking, working, and speaking. Sounds so easy, right! So what does it take for you and I to succeed?

Proper perspective of God’s word imprinted on our everyday tasks releases grace and change in another. If your problem is anger, your formula involves verses about anger management. You need to memorize the verses about self-control. At that moment of explosive anger, those verses hold your verbal and physical reactions in check. Trust me it really works. At that moment, honesty and grace overshadows your tendency to fail.

Honesty is a trait few practice. In many situations it is easy to tell a little white lie and cover our backsides. Don’t believe that lie. Success is for everyone who understands and practices the truth about our negative actions. We often fail because of ignorance. Within the pages of the Bible are the treasures waiting for you and I to discover. The formula for our success in this life is available for all to understand and practice. So, this year read you Bible instead of a self-help tape. Attend a Bible study class instead of a business a conference. Watch and wait for God to honor
