The Key To Success

From: New Life Daily Devotions

Psalm 42:1 "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God."

Looking for an edge in life? Consider this: God is the key to any success you may have in learning to control your actions and desires. He must be your strength, your counselor, and your sure foundation.

He’s the source and fulfillment of all human life, including yours. In other words, we were created by God as well as for God. We often forget the latter.

St. Augustine made this beautiful confession nearly seventeen centuries ago: "Our hearts are restless until they find rest in You, O Lord." It was true for him then, and it’s true for us now.

Behind all our cravings is a craving for God. And this craving can only be filled through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
