Psalm 37:5 The Key to Success Keith L. Brooks, a leading biblical fundamentalist during the early part of the twentieth century, once penned a helpful outline from Scripture titled The Seven-Fold Rule of Success. All of us should strive to be successful in glorifying our Savior and living a life that brightly shines as a testimony of Gods mercy, grace, and holiness. What is The Seven-Fold Rule of Success according to Gods Word? First, commit your way unto the Lord. Todays text is the starting point for success in any believers life. Purpose to glorify God in everything you do and place your full confidence in Him. Second, cast your burdens upon the Lord (55:22). When trails arise, commune with God. Tell Him your thoughts and troubles and ask Him to lead and strengthen you through difficult times. Third, call upon the name of the Lord (105:1). He is always willing to hear the cry of the penitent as well as the shout of praise and thanksgiving from those who make known His deeds among the people. Fourth, confess your sins to the Lord (32:5). Recognize your sin for what it truly is-transgression against the holy God-and ask Him to cleanse your life of sins stronghold. He promises forgiveness and cleansing (1 Jn.1:9). Fifth, consider the testimonies of the Lord (119:95). Make the study of His Word a priority in your life so that you can know what He desires of you. Sixth, cleave to the Lord (Acts 11:23). Never make any decision or traverse any path without first being certain of His approval. Finally, contend for the faith (Jude 3). Both the Living Word and Written Word are precious; fight the good fight against any who endeavor to undermine them (2 Tim.4:7). MDC
