How can you know God wants you to succeed in life? Three reasons: <\/p>\n
(1) Because He created you.<\/i> In Genesis He said, \u2018Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 1:26 NKJV) The words \u2018image\u2019<\/i> and \u2018likeness\u2019<\/i> are important. Think about it: we sometimes tell a child, \u2018You\u2019re the image of your mother\/father. You\u2019re just like her\/him!\u2019 Because you are God\u2019s supreme creation, He poured into you His mind, His power, His wisdom, and everything else you need to succeed. Once you grasp the truth of that and begin to act on it, your outlook will be transformed. You will start thinking like a \u2018no-limit person\u2019. <\/p>\n
(2) Because you have worth.<\/i> Actress Ethel Waters, who used to sing at the Billy Graham crusades, said, \u2018I am somebody, \u2019cause God don\u2019t make no junk!\u2019 As the crowning achievement of God\u2019s creation, you are the object of His attention and affection. The psalmist wrote, \u2018How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can\u2019t even count them.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 139:17\u201318 NLT) <\/p>\n
(3) Because everything God made was for you. \u2018You made them rulers over the works of Your hands; You put everything under their feet.\u2019<\/i> Does that mean God will simply drop success into your lap? No, \u2018God blessed them, and God said to them, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Genesis 1:28 NKJV) God has given you His authority and creative ability to succeed in whatever He calls you to do. So instead of thinking like a victim\u2014start thinking like a victor!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
