Successful in the Savior's love

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you" 

....Matt. 6: 33.

Many people are looking for ways to be successful.  As one wise man said, "I really cannot give you the formula for success. But I can give  you the formula for failure. It's this: Try to please everyone."

No matter how hard we were to try to please everyone, we'd soon find it couldn't be done.  Even the Lord Jesus Christ, who was perfect, could not please everyone.  In this world we will have tribulation and also opposition, but we must stand strong in the power of the Lord and continue to share His gospel message.

To be successful in Jesus should be our goal.  The victory has already been won.  When we look to the Lord and stand strong in the power of His might, we will make it.  Our weakness, Jesus is our strength.  His power will carry us and we can know that everything will work out for His glory.  Our God will make a way when there seems to be no way.  He will give living water to those who hunger and thirst after righteous.  When we seek, first, the kingdom of God and His righteousness; our Lord assures us the things we need will be added unto us. He will give us everything needed to be successful in our Christian walk through this life.

What a joy it is to know that we have One who loves us so.  There is no mountain too high to climb and no valley too low, when Jesus is the center of our soul.  We'll never walk alone once we take hold of the nail scarred hand of Jesus and continue to be led by the Master.

"Let go and let God' is more than just a motto, it is a way of life.

With Christ in control, everything will be alright in Christ!
