Blog Entry 169 of 214 The Daily Devo
My thoughts based upon each day's One Year Bible reading selection.

Secret to Success
Contributed by: Steve Jones   on 9/4/2008

From the Old Testament portion of today's One Year Bible reading:

Ecclesiastes 8:12-13
But even though a person sins a hundred times and still lives a long time, I know that those who fear God will be better off. The wicked will not prosper, for they do not fear God.

Financial success and long life don't always come to God-followers nor are they always denied to those who reject him. We reject riches and longevity as the primary motivations in our life and conduct. At best, they are happy by-products, though not guaranteed. "There are basic principles of effective living, and people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character"( Stephen Covey - The Seven Habitsof Highly Effective People).

I pray that today you will succeed in fearing God and keeping His commandments. Please pray that for me.
