31 Days Of Life Transformation Course

Have you ever been able to figure out how to live a successful, and may I dare to suggest, experience a wildly successful life? I believe there are so many well-meaning people who long for this kind of life but are frustrated beyond belief. Is there a “path” to the “path?” I believe there is, and I’ll lead you through each one of the steps to the path . . . and then help you navigate backwards when the path you were on begins to change. 

But first, let’s begin with this POSITIVE DECLARATION OF TRUTH:

Today May You . . . TRUST Him with everything you've got instead of TRUSTING you with everything you have, and as you live your life, TRUST His will to take you where you need to go.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT). 

Quality Wisdom Devotional Thought:

Christianity is best expressed when the believer is “all in.” Choices, decisions, are made with a clear focus on positive action. In this instance, we see three decisive choices:

·  Trust in the Lord, with all your heart (It means complete confidence in God’s ability to take care of you perfectly)

·  Do not depend on your own understanding (It means God has a better perspective than you do)

·  Seek his will in all you do (It means you continually check in with Him about every decision you make)

·  The payoff is profound: He will show you, in an obvious way, which path to take.

Great! So the Lord has not only shown you which path to take, but even better, YOU ARE THERE! Wonderful. Glad you could make it. Things for you on the path may be where you are experiencing your best times ever. 

But . . . 

What do you do when the path begins to shift? What if the path you have been on CHANGES? 

Then what?

Over the next few sessions, let’s walk back and reverse these four principles of how to experience a wildly successful life when, especially when, everything around you (and under you) is changing.

PATH / SEEK / DO NOT DEPEND ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING / TRUST
