If we commit our plans to the Lord, we will have success.
It's important to note, too, our idea of success might not be God's--often it's not. But, it's going to be EVEN BETTER than what kind of success we dream up, His will be the best, even, dare I say, perfect
What's so good about the world's success, anyway? Especially if that's not the success that God's wanting you to be wrapped up in? Your success should be embracing the thing(s) that God has in your life, like, for some, it's children, and, your a single mom that God is going to get you through it all, for some, it's an education, currently, that God is going to see it through perfectly to the end of its road, if you believe in this 'road' to His riches for you.
Riches, smiches, what do YOU really want ? I mean, IF God says store up our treasures in heaven, what on Earth are you TRYING to store them up HERE for !
Don't do it ! Follow Him, for your life, it might just be 45k, a white picket fence, a blue collar job, and, a wife, and, a FJ Cruiser. If it is, fa-g-r-r--r-reat-abulous ! That's you, doing what God wants. You'll know , just don't depress the pedal of your life on ideas that God KNOWS are not best for you, not perfect
Plan your life around His will for you, through faith, through prayer; yep, that's the start of you being THERE ! YOU will have untold success, oodles and oodles of God's blessed life for you, far more precious than gold
To humans belong the plans of the heart,but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
2All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
3Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
4The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
6Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.
9In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
------------
The Lord leads. Stop trying, just get going His way for you, in faith, go each day, each mundane day, if it is, and, keep on knowing that He will establish your plans. Just GIVE Him your heart's desires, and, may that desire be FOUND in Him !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart
