My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth. So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend. Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids. Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler. Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep— So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

Fear wasting your life? Fear your motives are selfish rather than godly? Not sure how to discover your gifts, calling, and mission to maximize your life for Christ? This plan will show you Godly “ambition” is radically different from worldly ambition—and that’s great news. Following Jesus’s model means unlearning what our culture has hammered into us. But the satisfaction of following God is the sweetest kind of success.
