1. To succeed a work has to be according to God’s plan.
Psalm 127:1 ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it…’
2. Look to God and depend on Him entirely.
Psalm 123:2 ‘As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her
mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God…’
3. Trust God and acknowledge Him in all things.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths’.
4. The Lord can see our motives!
Proverbs 5:21 ‘For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all his paths’.
