Defining success is different for everyone. Some would say that being successful means having a huge mansion and lots of expensive toys. Others might say that being successful means finishing college. While others would define success as being able to accomplish what we so often take for granted, like walking to the mailbox.
Success is measured differently by so many different people. The same goes true for your success; everyone measures your success differently. Some would say that I am successful. Others would say that I have failed in many areas. The truth is, I have a lot of room for improvement, and the successes I have had are because of GOD'S goodness.
Today's word is from Proverbs 2:7, NIV, which reads, "He (GOD) holds success in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless."
If I were to try to write a "how-to" book on success, it would be pretty simple. This verse tells us that if we are upright (honest, just, truthful, faithful, righteous), GOD holds success in store for us. You want to be successful, walk with GOD. Pretty simple.
Now, does that mean that everything you touch will turn into gold and that everything you do will be a huge success? No, but it does mean that, if you will stick with GOD, in the end, you will ultimately be successful. You never do wrong by doing right. And, you will never experience true success without GOD.
Be Blessed,
