Success Roadmap

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD
your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go...
Isaiah 48:17 (NKJV)

In His righteous judgement and pronoucement on the prideful, arrogant and haughty one symolized by the Babylonian lady, the Lord (in Isaiah 47) repeatedly stated His rejection of these traits in anyone, a nation, a kingdom or any of His creation. But to them that will not put their trust solely on ther own know-how, and other tangible things, the road map to good, lasting, sustainable success from generations to generations is found in the scripture above.

Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Your descendants also would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your body like the grains of sand; His name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me.”
Isaiah 48:18-19 (NKJV)


The consequences of following this road map are best described in the preceding verses as well. Now this is one word that we must not take lightly. ...Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Be encouraged,
