"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.  If you love me, you will obey my commandments.  Then I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever-the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see Him or know Him.  But you know Him, because He resides with you and will be in you."  -Jesus Christ, John 14:14-24

As much as I profess to love Jesus Christ, I honestly feel like I don’t give Him my ‘all’ at all times.  I could write a million daily devotionals about loving God and my outwardly projected image may seem good to others, but only God knows the true motives of my heart.

We can go to church every time the doors are open, serve in ministry, go on mission trips, feed the homeless, teach Sunday school, and say all the right ‘Christian-sounding’ words, but the truth is that unless we are obediently following God's will for our lives, we are only following Him half-heartily.

If we truly love God, we must stay grounded in His Word and obey His commands.  That last statement may sound harsh, but it's true.  Even if you are only reading one verse a day, make the time to meditate on His Word and stay faithful Him in love and allow Him to take His righteous place in your life.

SUCCESS

As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.  2 Chronicles 26:5

I recently stumbled across one of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein... "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results."  

How will this year be different for me?  Well, I think I am on my way to understanding by looking back retrospectively at what was a very difficult and painful year.  For instance, how many times did I shrug off God's will for my life and follow my own, or listen to someone else?  Too many times to recall, and many times, I feel like I failed miserably.

The first book of Psalms states "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked...but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night."  Seeking guidance in God's law rather than in the deliberations of the "wicked" is paramount for success in this life.  Knowing that God's will is good and perfect, it makes sense that we should seek Him in all that we do.  When we live in accordance to His will, we are on the pathway to success. 

Don't let your Bible collect dust on the shelf...open it up and explore God's Word and you will be on your way!
