2 Timothy 3:14-15

“14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Sometimes as believers we can get distracted from what God has called us to do. When you are distracted it can be challenging to stay on the appropriate path. The temptation to take a more alluring direction is always present. What we must do is keep going in the things that we have learned from God (and from godly men and women), those things which have given us a solid foundation.

There will be times when you feel like you just don’t know what your next move is or should be. But I encourage you to trust the scriptures and follow them. Find your solace in them, let them be a lamp unto your feet and a light to you pathway. The scriptures will make you wise unto salvation (freedom from the things which bind you), through faith in Jesus. Study the scriptures, seek God, and you will find direction, your compass to show you the direction you need to go.

Continue in what you know is right. Do not allow anyone or anything push you in a direct that the scriptures have not illuminated for you. The scriptures also gives us a warning, “there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of that way is destruction ,” Proverbs 14:12.

Understand that success can make you a prime target of the enemy. You find yourself mingling with a different sort of people. Some may not have gotten to where they are according to god’s will or law. These people tend to give advice and encourage you to make moves that are not God ordered. We must remember the same thing that helped get you to the successful level are the same thing that you must continue to do. This is where many fall. We have all seen it time and again.

But I encourage you. As you reach success in your gifting, talent, ministry, or chosen industry don’t forget God. Remember to continue in the things that you have learned, trust and stand on this foundation through faith in Jesus.

Have a blessed day.
