Your success is guranteed when...

Topic: You put God First
While conversing with a good friend this past weekend, she gave me a whole new meaning of what it means to "Put God first in all things." This morning as I meditated on our conversation, Proverbs 3:4-5, came in my spirit. I spoke it aloud and afterwards, retrieved my Parallel Bible and the Good News Bible to seek other translations. Here is my discovery. I pray you are blessed as I was because our success is guaranteed when we put God first in ALL things.

"Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (KJV)

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and He will show you the right way." (Good News Bible)

"If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don't ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success." The Living Bible)

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths." (Revised Standard)
