"O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
thy power through out the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee …
How great thou art, how great thou art.
How great thou art, how great thou art." |

A formula for success, straight from the Bible
The Holy Bible gets so much negative press. The Bible is called mythology by some. They state that The Bible is a good book, but outdated. The Bible has been stamped as too negative. Some say that the Bible can not be used in the secular world to help people become successful in business and many of their life's goals. I will let you be the judge after reading this column. I think Habakkuk 2:2-3 can stand with any of today's popular books that deal with our becoming successful in any area of our lives.
HABAKKUK 2:2-3 says to "WRITE THE VISION, AND MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, THAT HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, BUT AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK, AND NOT LIE: THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY." |
