2 6 : B V O V
All the confusion and complexity that
clutter your life would suddenly disappear.
Instead of constantly juggling priorities,
you'd always know what to put fi rst.
Well, here's a bit of news that may
surprise you.
There is, in fact, only one real key to
victory in life. That's right. Just one.
What is it?
A living connection with God.
In years past, I used to say, "If you're not
walking in victory, check your love walk."
Or sometimes I'd tell people, "If you're not
getting your prayers answered, make sure
you aren't harboring any unforgiveness...
make sure your fl esh is under control...
make sure you're fl owing in the joy of the
Lord." I had learned that by checking those
spiritual gauges, you could track down the
causes for failure.
But even though such gauges are very
helpful, after more than 50 years of living
by faith, I've come to realize that ultimately
our success stems solely from our vital,
continual contact with God. That one factor
governs all others.
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not
saying you can forget about things like love,
joy, forgiveness and self-control. They're
crucial elements in your life. You'll never
get far without them. What I am saying
is, if you're in contact with the Lord, those
qualities will fl ow naturally from your
heart. If you maintain a living connection

WOULDN'T LIFE BE WONDERFULLY SIMPLE IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING THAT
TRULY MATTERED? WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF ONLY ONE FACTOR DETERMINED
YOUR SUCCESS?
