The Secret To True Success And Satisfaction

Have you been looking for success, but just not been able to find it? Instead of finding success and peace you often feel like you are struggling simply to keep your head above water? It seems like the waves of life are rising higher by the moment, preparing to swallow you alive, and every breath you take could be your last! Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest! Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear and my load is easy to carry". I distinctly recall moments in my life where everything just seemed so overwhelming and difficult. Times where the more I strived to make things happen, the less I seemed to accomplish. Have you ever felt like that? At times it seemed that there was so much to do that I just didn't have time to pause and come to Jesus. How would I manage to do all the pressing, urgent things that needed to be done...right then? But I have discovered the most amazing thing...the ONLY thing that has ever brought me true success. The times when I pause to come to Jesus are the times I manage to jump back into my work with gusto and get the most done. The times I am anxious or frustrated...or feel I need to reorganize are often signals that I need simply to pause and seek Jesus. So, by now you are probably wondering how one comes to Jesus. Right? In the Bible, John 1 tells us that Jesus is the Living Word. And when we come to the Word allowing the Holy Spirit of God to teach us and reveal the truth, the Word becomes real and living in our lives. Joshua 1:8 tells us why this is the secret to success. "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you will do all that is written in it, for then you will make your way prosperous and find good success." Do you want proof that these words are real and true? If so, I'm here to testify about all the exciting and wonderful things God has done in my life. But the most amazing thing I experience is the deep, abiding satisfaction I sense when I take time to meditate on the Living Word of God and come to Jesus. This is something you can experience if you are willing to open your heart and give Jesus a try... Do you desire true and lasting satisfaction and success in your life? If so, what are you waiting for? It's time to get some "rest!" Grab the Word and come to Jesus!
