Success is...
Have you also thought about what success (:səkˈsɛs/) really is? What does it mean to be successful in life, and what does God think about success? I'm pretty sure it's not about money, career, or promotion. It must have something to do with following God's will and obeying Him: 'Do what the Lord your God commands and follow his teachings. Obey everything written in the Law of Moses. Then you will be a success, no matter what you do or where you go.' - 1 Kings 2, 3 (CEV). According to the Bible, the person doing the most with what he/she has got is truly successful: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’ - Mt. 25, 21.
