10 Steps to Real Success

Turn to God’s word to live your best life.

Mary Lou Carney

We live in an age of self-help books, get-rich-quick schemes and television infomercials. Everybody wants to change for the better. To make a success of their lives. But how do we do that?

We do it by turning to the most reliable source of all: the Bible. The Bible has something to say on any topic you can imagine, and it’s all rock-solid, true advice!

So if you want your life to be thriving and meaningful, here are the “secrets” to success:

1. “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

2. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).

3. “Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5).

4. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

7. “Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12).

8. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5).

9. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5, 6).

10. “’Bring all the tithes into the storehouse… and try Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it’” (Malachi 3:10).
