For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it (1 Peter 3:10-11).
It's so inspiring to know that as a child of God, you can be at the top of your game and live a glorious life; a life that you can be happy about, every day. Some people aren't happy with their lives and as a result, they blame others, the government, their environment, or their neighbors for their seeming misfortune; that's not going to change anything.
To be the absolute success that God designed you to be takes living by the word of God. The word of God unveils the fundamental principles of success that you can act upon to achieve extraordinary greatness in life.
For example, our opening scripture is very instructive on how to have a happy, good life. According to the verse, if you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Try to live in peace even if you must run after it to catch and hold it.
Did you see that? It lets you know clearly that if you want to be happy about your life, and see good days, there's a way to make it happen: eschew evil, and do good; go the extra mile to live in peace with all men.
The message translation says, "Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, here's what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you are worth."
This is God giving you the recipe for a successful life: a life that's filled up with good! I love the word of God because it's our instruction manual for a glorious life; it's the light that guides us in righteousness, dominion, success and victory.
Your life can be beautiful, extraordinary, exciting, fulfilling, exceptional, and excellent if you'd live by the word of God. Peace!
Still your dearest @andrewade

Amen to that. I do find it difficult not to speak evil, but then i remember that the good book says evil comes from the tongues of men and i think again of what I am saying. God bless you.

More to the point of how to do it, our fallen human nature is incapable of doing good. in fact we have a natural proclivity to sin. It is only through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us that change can come about. Thank you for the encouraging word.

Thank you. It's a silent voice that speaks directly to the heart. Not in the head, not in the flesh but right in the heart. We must learn to hear it, because God speaks in the heart. As for the prophet Eliah, slow, silent voice 1 Kings 19:11

In addition to your statement, it is important to live life by god's design and not by default. Living according to the plan and purpose of God for our lives will speed up our success story in God.
