Inevitable Success (Psalms 84-85 / Romans 12)

Psalms 84 is a description of a person who is in love with God. Do you faint for God (v. 2) and find yourself wanting to be in His house more than anything else (v. 10)? Psalms 85 is a call for restoration (v. 4) and revival (v. 6). How often do you find yourself asking God to bring about a revival? Psalms 86:11 contains a beautiful prayer. David asked God to teach him His ways and to give him an undivided heart. Mixing these two ideas together is a formula for success. If we are serving God with all that is within us while at the same time feasting on His word, success in this life and the next is inevitable (Joshua 1:8). How would you define success? Does it match the biblical definition

Romans 12:6-9 gives us many examples of how we should be living out the Christian walk (12:1-2). However, most believers have not been given all of the spiritual gifts. But all believers do posess the greatest gift that they can give away: love (12:9-21). In what ways can you show love to your fellow man today?
