The world is obsessed with success! We are obsessed not only with our own personal success but we may be even more obsessed with our children's. How is success measured? Does success mean that our child will one day get a good education, have a good job, a good family and be a good citizen. That is a very short-sighted view!
All these are necessary and God wants us to be successful in those areas as well. But that's not everything.
What if our children grow up to have worldly success for fifty years and then spend eternity in hell? That's a temporary success but an eternal failure!
In God's eyes success means:
- Discovering His will and purpose for your life,
- Fulfilling that purpose not for the glory of self but the glory of God.
Know the bigger picture, understand that the true meaning of success is to be successful in God's eyes!
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits his own soul? (Luke 9:25)
Shahlohm!
