THE LIFE GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9 Here are three important truths to help you enjoy the life God wants you to live: 1) Believe God wants you to succeed. Give up the unscriptural notion that this life has no value. God has a special work for you to do-here and now (Jeremiah 29:11). You ask, What defines success? Answer: the progressive achievement of a God-given goal resulting in feeling good about yourself. Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do (Deuteronomy 29:9 NIV). 2) Consult God before you set your goals. The Bible says, We should make plans-counting on God to direct us (Proverbs 16:9 TLB). If youre constantly stressed out and confused, you may be on the wrong track. Go back and check with God; what has He told you to do? Its His will for you to succeed in these six areas: a) spiritual; b) relational; c) physical; d) mental; e) social; f) financial. Whatever he does shall prosper (Psalms 1:3 NKJV). 3) Invest in yourself. Though it cost all you have, get understanding (Proverbs 4:7 NIV). If youre willing to spend money at fine restaurants but not on good books, your future is already determined. And the first book you need to invest in is a Bible. John writes, And the Word was God (John 1:1 NIV). That means each time you read Gods Word, youre depositing more of God into you. Wow! Think how that affects your life! Cultivate a teachable spirit. Let the wise listen and add to their learning (Proverbs 1:5 NIV). This is the life God wants you to live! From The Word For Today!
