Deuteronomy 28:13 ~ And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.
DAILY READING; 1 Corinthians 16; 2 Kings 12-13; Micah 3
Paul J Meyer was a remarkable Christian businessman who inspired countless lives to success during his lifetime.
Paul Meyer’s extraordinary life and legacy seem unlikely for a boy born into a poor immigrant family in 1928. As a young boy, his parents were so poor that Paul’s first bicycle was salvaged from a junk yard. But Paul’s parents gave him something far greater than material wealth — they instilled in him strong Christian values along with a robust work ethic.
As a child, Paul’s jobs included working in the orchards and vineyards with migrant farm workers, working in a cannery, trimming trees, and digging tree stumps.
After a particularly grueling workday, young Paul asked his mother, “Am I going to have to do manual labor all my life?” His mother’s insightful response profoundly influenced Paul’s life. She put her hands on her son’s head, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “You have everything right in here to do anything and be anything you want.”
At that moment Paul knew the choice was his, to be successful or not.
Paul gave himself to serving God and working hard, and gradually rose from his humble beginnings of earning $5 to one day earning $20 million.
In 1960, at the age of 32, Paul founded the Success Motivation Institute, dedicated to “motivating people to their full potential,”. Over the course of 50 years, Success Motivation Institute grew into an international group of companies marketed in more than 60 countries and in 23 languages with total sales in excess of $3 Billion.
Paul Meyer operated his business based on Biblical principles. His foundation has donated Millions of dollars to Christian Ministries and other charitable works.
Paul Meyer’s life indeed proved that with strong faith in God and enough determination, anyone can change their story and rise to great success and achievement.
Success is not accidental. To get where you want to be, you have to be intentional.
In every success story you’ll find struggles and setbacks, but you’ll also find tenacious faith that refuses to give up until the goal is achieved.
From Paul Meyer’s life, we see the remarkable turnaround God can cause in the life of a person who makes a definite choice to succeed.
The truth is that life does not get better by chance; it gets better by the choices we make.
The entire 28th chapter of Deuteronomy is dedicated to making the choice to serve God and be blessed or not to serve Him and be cursed.
When we make the choice to serve God, He promises to set us up on high above all nations of the earth. This means we can rise from any low point of life. By making the choice to honor God in our endeavors we will enjoy divine upliftment and elevation.
God has a master plan of success for us, however, it is the choices we make that determines if we ever see their manifestations.
To succeed in life, there are principles that must be followed. There are keys that must be applied to open the great doors of opportunity we desire.
The level of our pursuit of God determines the level of blessings and prosperity we enjoy in life.
It doesn’t matter how disadvantaged your beginning may have been, as you step out on faith, doing your best and trusting in God, the big breaks will eventually come.
The choices we make each day, ultimately affects our future. Let us therefore decide today to place our ultimate value on God, and surely, He will turn around our story; He will elevate us to be the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath.
PRAYER
Lord, please help me to make the choice to always diligently study Your Word and obey Your commands. I know that when I seek You first, then indeed, every other thing shall be added unto me, in Jesus’ Name.
