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.
