How to Live a Successful Life This Year in God's Eyes

We want to live a successful life, but we are facing so many obstacles. Sometimes we have way too many questions and not any answers.

Maybe like me you are feeling a little bit unsettled and confused about what God is up to in your life as you look back at the last year. You might have experienced some hard things, and you have no idea why God allowed such heartbreak to happen. As we look ahead to the year to come, how will can we stop looking back with disappointment and figure out how to walk into this next season with wisdom?

Proverbs 1:3 (NLT) explains that the purpose of God’s book of wisdom is to teach us to live disciplined and successful lives and to help us do what is right, just, and fair. Eugene Peterson’s The Message tells us that these Proverbs were “written down so we will “understand what life means and where it’s going.” Proverbs is “a manual for living…to “teach us the ropes” and give us a “grasp on reality.”

Now I don’t know about you, but I need a reality check. I desperately want God to help recalibrate my unsteady heart and to show me how to walk into this next season with more discernment. What does success look like for you and I from God’s perspective? We need the Lord to teach us how to live. So, let’s look at what Proverbs has to say about just that to learn how to move forward in the right way.

Join me on today’s podcast. Let’s dig into Proverbs to recalibrate our unsteady hearts and get a little reality check on exactly what success looks like in God’s eyes.
