MAKE YOUR LIFE SUCCESSFUL!

Following God's Way Leads to Success

The psalmist further describes the successful man as being "like a tree planted by streams of water."  The streams of water may have referred to irrigation ditches that were used to water trees in orchards.   (Isaiah 44:4)  Daily reading  of the Bible is like being attached to such an unfailing source of sustenance and refreshment.  (Jeremiah 17:8) You will daily receive the strength you need to bear up under trials and difficulties.  Having learned Jehovah's thinking, you will have the wisdom you need to make wise decisions.

At times, serving Jehovah may seem difficult.  But never feel that it is too difficult to handle.  (Deuteronomy 30:11)  The Bible promises  you that 'everything you do will succeed' in the long run, as long as your main objective is to please Jehovah and make his heart rejoice!  (Proverbs 27:11)  And remember, you do not have to go it alone.  You have the support of Jehovah and Jesus Christ.  (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)  They know the pressures you face, and they will never abandon you.  (Psalm 55:22) You also have the backing of "the whole association of brothers" and of your parents if they are God fearing.  (1 Peter 2:17) With such backing, along with your determination and effort, you can enjoy a successful life not only now but eternally!
