You can obtain Godly SUCCESS! What is your view of success? Is it having money, status, lots of friends in high places, or having your dream job? God’s view is totally different. Here are five key aspects of success according to the Word: 1. Obedience to God’s Will Success is rooted in obeying and trusting God’s commands rather than pursuing personal ambitions. True success comes when we align our lives with God’s purposes.

Mindset Mondays: Under the Shadow of the Most High
Are you abiding under the shadow of the Most High? I was on a flight recently, and we were flying over the mountains, just below the clouds. I could see the ground, and there were these places on the ground that were dark, and I realized I was seeing the shadows from the clouds. It was an intriguing sight to see a shadow from above.

Notice the ‘were‘; it’s already done (1 Peter 2:23-25). From the Old Testament and throughout the New Testament God continually reveals to us His plan for us to be whole.
