Biblical ideas for achieving life success - Angee Licaa - 04-27-2022
Every Christian has a responsibility to apply the Bible. The Bible is nothing more than an ordinary book, a collection of impracticable old documents, if we don't apply it. That's why Paul declared in Philippians 5:9, "Do what you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you." God Himself will be with us as we apply the Bible.

Avoid avoidable arguments and misunderstandings.
"Don't get involved in foolish debates since you already know they lead to arguments." 2 Timothy 2:23; 2 Timothy 2:24; 2 Timothy 2:25; 2
We live in a world where everyone has a different point of view. Some people are adamant about their point of view and will go to great lengths to persuade others to agree with them. However, if we allow ourselves to become engrossed in these debates, we will waste time and confuse our minds.
It is extremely difficult to change a person's concerns and views through argument. Because they have their own justifications that no one can change once they have entered the debate, because they believe their logic is always correct. Only God has the power to transform a person's mentality. Disputes will make our brains more negative, so let's avoid them as much as possible. To become more tranquil, keep your thoughts clear and listen to God in your heart and mind.
Humility
In everything He did, Jesus established an example of humility. We live in a society where modesty causes you to fall further behind, or even get crushed underfoot, rather than moving forward. We view humility as a quality near and dear to God's heart in the Bible.
Stay away from any temptations.
"There is a path that appears right to a man, yet it leads to death in the end" (Pr 14:12)
The book of Proverbs frequently warns us to avoid bad impulses since they lead to disastrous outcomes in our life. "There is a path that appears right to a man, yet it leads to death in the end" (Proverbs 14:12). As a result, "maintain your distance from him, and do not approach the entrance of his house, lest you reveal your name to others, and yield up the years of your life to tyrants" (Pr 5:8-9). We'll be sorry we didn't resist the temptation. We will face material, desire, and status temptations throughout our lives... We are also under financial strain as young people, as well as pressure to establish a profession and find a life mate. How can I make all of my decisions wisely? Turning to God and asking Him to reveal His will and give us the strength to prevent from sinning is the prudent decision. Overcoming temptation saves our souls from perishing (6:32) and maintains our lives holy so that we might draw closer to God.
Cultivate yourself through diligence, patience, and discipline in life
“A lazy hand makes you poor, But a diligent hand will make you rich” (Pr 10:4)
There is a view that God will give us wealth easily without our having to work hard. The book of Proverbs reveals to us the truth that God wants to bless His children, but God does not want His children to be lazy or undisciplined in life. Proverbs 18:9 affirms, “He who drifts away in his work is also the brother of the destroyer.” Proverbs 24:30-34 shows us that the result of the lazy person is poverty, “a little sleep, a little blink of an eye… and poverty will come upon you like a robber”. God wants to test us to make us useful to His kingdom.
Daily life gives us more conveniences and also gives us more opportunities and means to learn. Are we willing to learn new things to improve and develop ourselves? If we're young, we shouldn't say: I can't learn English, I don't know how to use a computer, I can't cook, or I can't teach my children… The above and more We can easily learn from teachers, friends, or self-study through books, study on websites, or youtube.
Not only training our skills, but we also need to train our character. If we are angry people, remember God's Word reminds us: “Stop being friends with angry people; Also do not associate to be good soldiers of Christ. Through our lives, many people come to know You, and God's name is glorified.
