Success is...
Psalm 115:1
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
Success. It means a different thing to every single one of us. For some of us, it means getting that good grades in our exams. For some, it might mean having good relationships with their family and friends. For others, it might mean being financially stable.
What does success mean to you? Success comes in stages, it arrives step by step. For now, you might have a goal today, and once reaching it, you will have succeeded, thus reaching your status of achieving that success. Some people will bask in that success and stay where they are, or go on to define their next step of success. The most important thing is our response to success should be like David.
Contentment and satisfaction. Be CONTENTED with what you have, but never be SATISFIED with your current success. Be like David, who spent his life looking for exploits in God. Whom ruled and raided and con-quested for 40 years for God. An attitude that befit this was the trust you have in God. Rather be trusting God and fail, than rely on our own methods and succeeding. Commit all to God.
Jared asked us what does success mean to us. In my heart, I know mine. In my heart, God sees mine. But it got me thinking. Hard. It's time to redefine it.
I asked.
It was liberal and without reproach.
