The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:13)
Everybody certainly willing to success. everyday we go to workplace, school, college. why we do that? Because we have a dream that someday we will succeed through doing so.
But Lord teach us:
It is useless to work hard for the food you eat by getting up early and going to bed late. The LORD gives [food] to those he loves while they sleep. (Psalm 127:2)
So, if Lord gives us food while we sleep, do we need to put our effort to success?
The Answer is :Yes!
Lord also teachs us to learn from the ant (Proverb 6:6-11). If we become lazy and put no effort, poverty will certainly come to us.
Then, what actually Lord want us to do? Lord wants us to keep working but do not rely the success on your own hand but in His Hand (Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight-Proverbs 3:5) . First step is believing, second step is acknowledging him through your daily life attitudes.
Now, after you know it, so ...
How I can get the key to success: (Psalms 1: 1-4):
1. Live in holy way..don't trust the world, but put your hope in the Lord's hand.
Blessed is the man,who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,or stand in the way of sinners,or sit in the seat of mockers. (Psalms 1:1) Working is important, but success and hope is always coming from the Lord. Don't rely the success will come from your hand and follow world's way, legalize what sinners do to achieve success. Trust Him, acknowledge Him in all your ways and he will make your paths straight-Proverbs 3:5)
2. Learn Law of Lord and implement it day and night.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water,which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.Whatever he does prospers.(Psams 1:2-3)
Lord wants us to learn His Law, to be obedient to Him day and night in way of thinking, way of behave, way to treat others. It is not always come easy, but we can do it. Our life should be the reflection of Christ.
Summary: Lord promise us the success as long as we live in His way and not following world's way. always give time to praise Him and rely our life in Lord.
