SUCCESS AND BRAGGING ABOUT THINGS

Editorial Comment

When you’re really confused, worried or don’t have a clue what to do, don’t let panic or worry guide your decisions. Relax for a minute and let God work. You’ll be amazed at the insight you get from waiting on God instead of striving to find answers on your own. Before you make any decision read Philippians 4:11-13. It’s a great Scripture. “For I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.” Don’t always react on your first impulse – instead, meditate on what God would want from you and realize that He is in control. You’ll be able to see His hand working in just about any situation when you take a step back and realize it’s not your plan, but His.

Scripture Reference

Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder, where the inclination of the pilot desires. So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. James 3:4-5
Blessed is the man honours and fears the Lord and who takes pleasure in obeying God’s commandments. He will succeed in everything he does and overcome overwhelming setbacks. Future generations of his, who walk uprightly and trust in the Lord, shall also be blessed. Psalm 112:1-2

I have told you these things, so that you will trust me and may be assured of the outcome and have peace. In this godless world you will continually face challenges and difficulties. But take heart! I have conquered the world – so you can be an overcomer, and live in victory. John 16:33
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. Philippians 4:6 – Paraphrased
Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Psalm 145:2
Fan the flames of the spiritual gifts God gave you. Keep them ablaze! God doesn’t want you to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible. And remember, God did not give you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6-7

Editorial Comment

Your thoughts determine your destiny. You can’t make a decision without thinking about it and you can’t think negative thoughts and expect a positive outcome. Proverbs 23:7 says: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” If you dwell on God’s Word, “You are an overcomer,” and “You can do all things through Christ,” then soon, you will become what the scripture says and your life will be on God’s path to victory. The next time the enemy gives you negative thoughts, use it as an opportunity praise the Lord! God is faithful to His Word and as you continue to seek Him, He will complete the work He begun in your life. As you keep your thoughts on God, you will discover the champion in you!
