The Key to Success

I Thessalonians 5:23-24 exposes a telling truth about walking with God we often overlook or try to ignore.  It reads, "May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.  May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."  Notice who is responsible for making our walk with God successful; GOD, not us. He is responsible for making us a success and he promises to do just that. And since we know he keeps his promises, we have no reason not to do our part.  So be bold in life. We will be successful because of him!  We have no reason to fear the future, no matter what it looks like on TV, no cause to doubt ourselves, even though we know all our secrets, no need to hold back despite our past mistakes.  In fact, because of the Cross, in God's mind we are already successful.  So go do some conquering!
