The Secret

A few friends were talking recently about the book called the secret.It's a self motivational composition, the thrust of it being that if you want a thing in your life you put all your focus on it and will it to happen, it will.

My thoughts on the subject is that the Secret to success is in the bible, it works for me.


Psalms 128

1	Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
2	For thou shalt eat the labor of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

The secret to success is to put all your focus on God to try to walk in his ways the best you can and work hard for it.

God the father, like any father wants us, his children, to have a great life and to do good in our lives as best we can. To succeed, to achieve, to be the best that we can be in our vocation.

Ephesians 4

1Walk yeworthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called

Thus to do good, work hard and achieve success is the will of God.

Success defined:
Success may mean, but is not limited to: a level of social status; achievement of an objective/goal; the opposite of failure

I would add also a spiritual level.The goal being to draw closer to God at a spiritual level.

Abraham, Joseph, Esther and Solomon to name a few; succeeded in this ( being successful on earth whilst all the while drawing closer to God ).

Ecclesiastes 3

¹²I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life

¹³And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

Success is Gods Gift to man to attain the joy of his heart

Ecclesiastes 5

	19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. 20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

The Success that God gives, brings no fear or sorrow.

PROVERBS 10

²²The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

The secret?

Mathew 6:33

This is the promise of God:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.


FEAR NOT ONLY BELIEVE

Amen.
