The Secret To Success

The Secret To Success “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.” Colossians 3:23 This past fall my oldest grandson Brock, started a new job. He has been going to college and will graduate in two more years, but wanted to get a job to help with his college expenses. The advice I gave him was to read and follow the scripture above I have always had the attitude and related this on to my children, and now my grandchildren, that they could do anything in life, if they wanted it bad enough and was willing to work hard enough. I believe if we are willing to put forth the effort, and trust God for His guidance in all we do, we can accomplish just about anything in life that we want to accomplish, that is within God’s plan for us. Everything we accomplish requires an effort on our part, and how bad we want something, requires us to put forth the effort to obtain it. Great athletes do not get where they are without putting forth the effort and practice. God gives us the platform to build on, and what we build on our platform, depends upon the effort we put into it. There are so many people who have been given a talent from God that are not willing to put forth the effort to develop this talent, and get the most out of it. They may reap some rewards from the use of their talent but could grow this and be rewarded and blessed many times over, if they would only put forth the effort and time necessary to grow their talents. The people who are the successes in life, and who are the overachievers, are the ones that are willing to commit themselves and devote the time and effort to growing their talents. They are the ones that make the difference in our world and have the greatest influence on their fellow man. Make God first in all that you do, and work as if you are working for God, and all your plans will succeed. Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Seven June 9
