2 Chronicles 26:5 Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success. (NLT)

Some truths are pretty simple. These two summary sentences about King Uzziah’s life are among them. “As long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.”

Success that honors God and serves others finds its source in the heart and mind of God. He eagerly shares his truth and wisdom with everyone who comes to him for guidance.

The most important success habit we can cultivate is searching God’s words of truth and life day by day. A regular time and place to meet with him unhurried and expectant places us where we need to be to receive daily doses of life-giving, life-shaping guidance.

Exercising daily builds more muscle than exercising every week or so. Time alone with God daily builds more wisdom and Christlike character than reading the Bible every now and again.

How regularly do you spend time alone with God?

What is your Bible reading plan? How do you capture what you learn? How do you apply what you hear God saying to you? How do you pass along to others the wisdom God is working into your life?

These simple thoughts help us step beyond reading God’s words of truth and life toward having them shape the intentions of our hearts and the work of our hands.

Successful living begins with understanding what true success is. It sees and values success the same way God does. It aligns and attunes our hearts and minds with God’s. We are about as successful as we choose to be. “As long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.”

How much God-honoring success do you want to experience day by day?

—

I will seek God’s wisdom daily that I may experience the kind of success that honors him and serves others.

Our Father, thank you for time alone with you day by day. Thank you for surrounding me with people who know you and love you and seek to honor you with their lives. Thank you for the people we get to serve who come hungry and expectant to develop the habits that lead to the kind of success that helps people see how good and kind you are. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
