The road signs to success sometimes lead astray... down a dead end road with no through access. People have written books about this stuff, giving you seven steps to follow to reach success. I am not putting them down, I am just saying there is a more excellent way.
The Lord told Joshua... "Ponder and meditate on My word day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed." (Josh. 1:8 MSG)
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might (Eccl. 9:10a)
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men (Col. 3:23)
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matt 6:33)
You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. (Jer. 29:13)
Go in peace.
