If you ask accomplished people about their secret to success, you will hear a common phrase: healthy habits. Just like an athlete must maintain daily workouts to push her toward her goals, you must develop daily habits to help you become successful.

We have everything we need within us to win in this life. That includes the confidence to step out in faith even when the future looks uncertain. Do you truly believe that? Once we believe that, the next question is whether we will utilize our courage to get out of our situation and move forward toward our goals.

Priorities are foundational for God to build things in our lives—His agenda is first and foremost. We must not get distracted from our priorities and allow our lives to be out of sync. If you’re interested in what it takes to build your own “ark” with God like Noah did, here are some tangible steps.

Many big ideas, visions, and dreams are buried in cemeteries because of inaction and the fear of failure. Sometimes before taking that first step, we must resolve to get out of the comfort zone of doing what we’ve always done, being where we’ve always been, thinking as we’ve always thought, feeling like we’ve always felt. It’s a new day, and it’s time for us to stop playing it safe.

The story of Noah is a great reminder that God has equipped us with the right tools to get the job done. He has freely given all of us a toolkit full of promises that we can count on for anything we face, including healing, provision, success, and peace. 

What if I told you that your inside world matters if you want to live your best life? Did you know that you can deal with just about anything when you are your authentic self, living from the inside out?

We can experience the reality of God’s Word once we understand that we’re not a part of this world. It’s time for us to be established in His plan for our lives.

Do you know God’s will for your life and circumstances? I believe Christians are all in pursuit of God’s will for our lives. I don’t think it happens haphazardly. It’s not something that applies just to those in ministry; it’s for each of us to understand that God has a plan for our lives that He wants us to discover.

We have to remember and remind ourselves that God is with us all the time. He is the same as He was yesterday and the same as He always will be; He is present with us right now. Life is a sum of ups, downs, highs, and lows.
