“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”– Psalms 1:1-3
#2 Involve God in every aspect of your life. Ask Him for direction, wisdom, revelation, and guidance in all your deals, decisions, opportunities, relationships, programs, etc.

#3 Be a good steward of whatever God has already entrusted to you.
