In everything you do, put God first,
and he will direct you and
crown your efforts with success.
Success is a relative term. The general equation of success, as far as people are concerned, involves a lot of money and valuable possessions. It brings to mind a story about two good friends, a young pastor and an older attorney who married into wealth. Between them, my attorney friend always felt that the young pastor would never amount to anything. On the other hand, the young pastor held the lawyer in high esteem and considered him a dear friend. As God would have it, the daughter of the wealthy attorney fell in love with and married the young pastor. Needless to say, her father was deeply disappointed, failed to attend the wedding and ceased communicating with the young couple for several years until he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At that point, he realized that his riches were of absolutely no value. Knowing that his life would soon be over, my attorney friend began his search for God. For guidance, he sought out his son-in-law, who at that point had become a seasoned and experienced pastor. It’s a sad, but true story. Place God first, let Him take the wheel and drive you toward the blessings He has waiting for you. Remember that His ways are not your ways. Without a doubt, it’s better to be successful in God’s eyes than in your own eyes.
