Do you remember several years ago all the buzz was about a newly written book called The Secret?
Everyone made such a fuss! It really worked, they claimed! It will change your life they insisted. I remember when a colleague came in to the office one morning glowing with excitement.
"I read The Secret!" she told me. "I feel like a whole new person!" With a huge smile on her face, off to tackle her day she went.
This was a dear friend I'd had the privilege of leading to a saving knowledge of Christ.
It was time to see what this was all about.
I discovered that what it was all about was taking some basic principles from the Word of God, washing them of any reference to the Lord and mixing in just enough mumbo jumbo from other religious beliefs to appeal to a wide audience. Then packaging and selling them as a "feel good, you can have whatever you want" philosophy that would work to some extent for anyone simply because GODS PRINCIPLE'S APPLIED ALWAYS WORK.
Negative or positive, when you apply Gods truth you get results!
You reap what you sow ~ Galatians 6:7
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life ~ Proverbs 4:23
The real SECRET to a fulfilled, happy, productive and joy filled life?
PSALM 25:14 The SECRET of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.
The real secret lies with God and God alone, the Maker and Creator of all the universe. Obedience to His ways, found in His Word, are the revelations that will transform your life (2Corinthians 5:17) not just for a temporary time, but for ALL ETERNITY!
Grab a Bible, any version that you are comfortable reading (I personally love the New King James or American Standard for easy reading pleasure) and find the true and lasting SECRET to a blessed life now and for all time from the only Author who knows all things including the end from the beginning.
