 SECRET TO SUCCESS
Today's reading:  Deuteronomy 29-31

"The Lord your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and laws written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul."  Deuteronomy 30:10 NLT

Finally, the secret to full and lasting success.

No, it's not that the Lord will drop in your lap every thing on your wish list.  Or that your path will be rose-covered and lacking in potholes.  Or that the aches and pains will leave you on this side of glory.  Or that life will be easy.  Or that everyone will like you.

Success, true success, is having God delight in you.

To have His favor.

To know He is proud of you.

To have Him acknowledge you as His. 

To have His peace resting solidly in your heart.

To know His joy despite the circumstances.

Isn't this kind of success what you want out of life--for yourself and for those you love?
