Success could be defined by wealth, respect, and a meaningful life. The real question is… What is the formula for that success? Two things according to Proverbs 22:4.
1. Humility.
Humility will keep you engaged.
Humility will clarify your thoughts.
Humility will give you the willpower.
Humility will help you finish the race.
2. Fear of the Lord.
Fear of the Lord will keep you grounded.
Fear of the Lord will guide your actions.
Fear of the Lord will focus your attention.
Becoming all you can be is absolutely your responsibility. At the same time, all you can do will never be enough to fulfill the purpose of your life.
Bring everything you have to the table.
God just might feed a multitude with it.
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
Proverbs 22:4 KJV
