The road to success in life isn’t always straight.
There’s a curve, called FAILURE.
A loop, called CONFUSION.
Speed bumps, called FRIENDS.
Red lights, called ENEMIES.
Caution lights, called FAMILIES.
And flat tires, called JOBS.
However …
If you have a spare, called DETERMINATION …
An engine, called PERSEVERANCE …
Insurance, called FAITH …
And a Driver, called JESUS …
You will make it to a place called …
SUCCESS.

Genesis 29; Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 – "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. 4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God."
1. DTA (Don’t Trust Anybody)- not even your future father-in-law.
2. ALWAYS get the details clear – and, where possible, ALWAYS get them in writing.
3. INSIST UPON INTEGRITY – even if your Laban HAS none, but insists he’s ACTING WITH integrity. And ALWAYS ACT WITH INTEGRITY YOURSELF.
4. DO RIGHT – regardless of Laban’s UTTER INABILITY to do right. And …
5. GET, and KEEP, God involved.

I am a soldier in the army of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct.
Faith, Prayer, and the Word are my weapons of Warfare.
I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire.
