Success is something that everyone wants—you, me…everyone. But how is it that success comes? I mean, how do you get whatever this thing we call success is?
There’s a very cool passage of Scripture that says “As long as King Uzziah dedicated his life to serving the Lord, the Lord gave him success.” 2 Chronicles 26:5
The Bible is replete with promises about God bringing success and prospering those who follow Him closely. For example:
2 Chronicles 31:21—States that “Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.” And Joshua 1:8—“Study this Book of Instruction (the Bible) continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”
Still not convinced that it’s God’s will to prosper you and make you successful? Even Jesus reinforced this biblical promise by stating in Matthew 6:33—“And He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.”
Let’s put it all together. As you read over these passages, what’s the common thread? I like to call it “loving obedience.” And the way we get to the place of obeying God out of love is by [1] learning the bible [2] thinking about its application to our lives and [3] putting it into practice.
Yes, you can be a success!
