What do you think of, when you think of success?

Perhaps it’s becoming a Doctor, Computer Analyst, Therapist, Entertainer, Pastor, Artist, Architect, Lawyer, Nurse, Policemen, Chef, CEO or Business Owner.

Opportunity is available to all that put forth the necessary effort. Society tells you to get an education and do something with your life. Be successful!

Parents encourage their children to apply themselves in school or to excel in sports. Whatever direction you choose, just make something of yourself! Be successful!

Success doesn’t “just happen”. You have to do something.

Today we want to talk about “Planning For Success”. How to find success in life, through the lens of the Bible.

We see success as the favorable completion of a goal set for yourself, after consulting with God. We also believe there are three kinds of people in the world:

1. People who "make things happen".
2. People who "watch things happen".
3. People who "wonder what happened".

Those who make things happen are the most successful.

To help with this topic, we look at the accomplishments of three individuals in the Bible. David, Joshua, and Nehemiah. Their stories serve as guidance on how to seek God's counsel, trust in His direction, and overcome obstacles.

We emphasize the importance of building faith-based plans that include God and relying on His direction, ultimately concluding that true success comes from aligning your life with His will.
