"What? Is this all there is to life?"
Who doesn't want to be successful? But what is success really? And how do you get it?
SUCCESS. Jesus said that the reason he came to earth was so that everyone would have the fullest life possible. Isn't that you what you want want? The fullest life possible!
Another time he promised that when we make obedience to God our first priority, all of the things we need will be provided for us. God is all about success - including your success!
Too often the standards are measured by the level of education we have attained, the amount of money we have in the bank, the size of our house, or how much material possessions we own.
Education is important; we should go for all that is available to us. And there's nothing wrong with a good job and wealth. But in reality, it is how we treat others and what we do with our education and money that people will remember long after we are gone.
True success can only be measured at the end of our lives by how we used what we had to serve society and honor God. This is only kind of success that can never be taken away from you.

Prayer:
God, at the end of my life, when I come face to face with you, I want you to be pleased with my life. I will study and work hard to be successful in this world. But I realize that I have to use my knowledge and my possessions to help others who are less fortunate than me. Give me all the help I need, and the wisdom to manage well all the resources and abilities that I have, and the humility to treat others the same way I want to be treated.
In Christ
Alone
