Promises - 03 Ambition



Ambition



Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

                ~Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)


And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

                ~Luke 12:29-31


This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

                ~Joshua 1:8


This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.”


                ~Isaiah 48:17 (NIV)


Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

                ~3 John 2 (NIV)


Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.


                ~Proverbs 3:5-10 (NIV)


Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.


                ~Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)


But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

                ~Matthew 6:33 (NIV)


Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

                ~Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
