“Success is found in maximizing your potential for the good of others and the glory of God.” – Dr. Tony Evans

Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

The world is fixated on achieving success, power, possessions and fame, at all costs.  Get on TV or any type of media, and say whatever and/or do whatever, to make a name for yourself and hopefully big bucks.

No longer does character, integrity, morals, decorum or respect, mean anything. Its all about achieving success as today’s society has defined it.

I’ll think I will stay with the success that comes with knowing Christ as my Lord and Savior.  Long after the ratings have dropped for that reality show, or the music has faded, or whatever is popular today, is no longer the “next great thing”, I will still have Jesus!  My sins will still be forgiven, my name written in the Book of Life, and my life lived for Him.

Then on that special day, my success will be revealed in hearing my Lord say, “Well Done!”

Be Encouraged. Hold on just a little while longer. Our Victory is assured.
