“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer. 29: 11-13).
You will not settle for anything in life but will go specifically for what God wants and that’s what makes a person successful in life. Make it your top priority to know God intimately by having intimate relationship with Him, and He will show you His will for your life. God will make it very clear to you how you are to invest your life. He will help you to make the right decisions in life. He will fill you with the knowledge of His will. You will grow in the Lord and have a deep yearning desire to know His will and that’s a life of success my brother. You will do things from God’s viewpoint and understand what God is up to in your life. Your life will then impact others and have positive influence on them so they will want to know God and glorify His name. Hallelujah!
How will you know the career you have to pursue without having intimate relationship with the Lord and knowing His will for your life? Why will you spend time, money, and other resources in college, in university, in apprenticeship, without knowing the exact purpose of God for your life? That’s a good question to answer. I think it will be very wise to seek the Lord for His will for your life. It will be wise financially, as well as other areas. In every aspect of your life, you need to seek God and know the way He operates. You need to see life from God’s point of view, not the world’s viewpoint, and living your life on the bases of that.
