Becoming a Woman of Success

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path."  Proverbs 3: 5-6



Fame and fortune defines worldly success.  We see examples of it all the time on the cover of magazines in the supermarket.  It seems like such a glamorous life and it can be enticing at times.  What I don't see in the wordly successes of life is peace, joy, love, contentment and eternal security which are available through the love of God. 
How do we establish this kind of success?  Every believer has been given abilities, talents and spiritual gifts.  These wonderful gifts that God has given enables each of us to do the things that God calls us to do.  At times we struggle to find areas of accomplishments in our lives.  Maybe these struggles are from our own earthly wants and desires and we forget to consult God for what He wants for us.
Search out how to be the kind of successful woman God had always intended for you to be.  Here are some helpful tips:
1.   Ask the Lord what His will is for your life.  You must make the decision to seek after Him first.
2.   Be obedient.  We cannot expect God to help us in life if we choose to disobey His principles and teachings.  We are to obey by God's guildlines when we are pursing our goals.
3.  We are not alone in our search for success.  The Holy Spirit is with us and will be our counselor and guide.  We first must submit to the Holy Spirits leading, direction, and empowerment of God's Spirit.
We must look at which kind of success we truly want for our lives - wordly or spiritual.  Measure your understanding against God's word.  Living a successful life God's way is truly the only one way we'll ever achieve true success.
Be blessed!
