(The following is an excerpt from Bob Nichols’ book, “How to Change Your Destiny.”)
When I was in school very few students owned cars. I remember a certain student, whose father was a doctor, had a brand new Ford convertible. That young man always had more money than he knew what to do with. He had a brand new car when everyone else was walking, but he was given too much too quick, and it ruined him. He became an alcoholic. The last time I heard about him he was on his last leg and I pray to God that something turns his life around.
You can be born with a silver spoon in your mouth and turn out to be a zero. This young man thought his future was made because he had wealth, but in reality he was heading toward disaster because he had no one directing his path. He was in need of a master and he chose the wrong one. As long as you are partners with God, you can make BIG plans. It is not up to chance, it is Jesus being the Lord and the Savior of your life that makes the difference. It really is!
