What Is the Key?

He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. - Psalm 1:3

What exactly is the key to success in this life?

There sure are a lot of people on television who seem to have the answer! Of course, the Christ-follower should be able to find the answer in the Bible and, according to David, the key to success is "delighting in the Yahweh's instruction" and "meditating on it day and night."

In other words, the key to success does not lie ?within us," but rather it is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ (the Lord of the Universe). It may "feel" sometimes as if we are not successful, but with Christ it is impossible to fail.

We failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing. - Robert E. Lee
