ACHIEVING TRUE AND LASTING SUCCESS

Proverbs 21:30-31 ERV "There is no one wise enough to make a plan that can succeed if the Lord is against it. You can prepare your horses for battle, but only the Lord can give you the victory."

It's not about starting strong, having brilliant ideas and detailed plans, or favourable conditions: "If it is not the Lord who builds a house, the builders are wasting their time. If it is not the Lord who watches over the city, the guards are wasting their time." Psalm 127:1

All human effort amounts to nothing without divine intervention. All success therefore is granted and permitted. Without God we are utterly helpless; without God we can accomplish nothing significant. Therefore, God deserves all the glory!

The Tower of Babel became an abandoned project because God was against it; they were wasting their time all along. True and lasting success comes when the Lord is with us; when we do things consistent with His will for our lives.
