If we are to do right, we must walk the right path. The path of faithfulness 2. The path of obedience 3. He will never lead us wrong. There can be no failure when He is with us.
Defeat comes with our departure.
When we begin to trust our own judgment and make our decisions apart from the Lord failure will come. Choose that which is right in the sight of God. Put things in their right places. We are often like the young man who wants to start at the top rather than work. To have success in our life we must be willing to yield ourselves to God.
