STRATEGY FOR EFFECTIVE LIVING

It begins with:
God's Wisdom- Respecting and appreciating who God is. Reverence and awe in recognizing the almighty God. Wisdom begins with fear and respect for the LORD.  Those who obey him are very wise. Praises will be sung to him forever. Psalms 111:10 ERV
and it requires:
Moral Application- Trusting in God and His word. Allowing His Word to speak to us personally and being willing to obey.  
Practical Application- Acting on God's direction in daily devotions.
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Don't assume that you know it all. Proverbs 3:5 MSG
Doing this results in 
Effective Living - Experiencing what God does with our obedience. Always remember what is written in that book of law. Speak about that book and study it day and night. Then you can be sure to obey what is written there. If you do this, you will be wise and successful in everything you do. Joshua 1:8
