SUCCESS

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

What is success? “The accomplishment of an aim or purpose.”

Success Quotes:

Someone has said, “Everything we have was once only a dream in the heart.”

To succeed, we need inspiration to accomplish goals.

How does inspiration come to you? Where do you find the information, the motivation and desire to dream dreams and to set new goals for your life?

For me, I often have several things spinning around in my head at once. At times I become overwhelmed and just not sure of what to do next.

To find direction and to get me focused, I find myself turning to God and His Word. I need help to sort out what I should be doing. I need help in setting the right priorities. I need guidance to discern His will and plans are for my life.

When I have difficulty visualizing His plan, I find myself lacking attentiveness and motivation.

As much as I want to do God’s will, it’s very difficult for me to move forward with purpose and passion. I need to know where I’m going. I need to know where God is leading me!

Our text reminds us that we can do nothing without Christ, but with Him, we can do all things. That is, all things He wills.

One thing I learned was, “If I would abide in Him, He would abide in me.” John 15:1-5

When I spend time with Him, I am in His will, and He guides every step I take.

If I follow His advice, I know where to find purpose and clarity.

You may not hear God’s voice the same way that I do, but He is patiently waiting to hear from you. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you each day and to guide your actions and decisions. Good things happen when you spend time with the Lord!

God gives us confidence and motivation as we keep Him the focus of our life!

Peace and clarity come from knowing that I am on where God wants me to be. Comfort comes in knowing He is with me and will guide the steps I take.

Enjoy your day, as you work for Christ!
