We often talk about having success in life. Everyone seems to have their own idea of exactly what success means. Certainly there are several different aspects and areas of life that need to be considered. An incomplete list of those areas is: spiritual, family, health, vocation, friends/relationships, and financial.
How successful are you? One problem most of have is we settle for being successful (as we define success) in one or two areas and willingly accept failure or at least something less than success in the other areas. To be successful in life, according to God's Word, we must be in an intimate relationship with Him through His Son Jesus. Anything short of that will result in false success in every area of our life.
So how do you rate your walk with God? How intimate would you say you are?
Your spiritual life is nothing more than empty religion without a personal relationship with Jesus. Your family life, marriage included, will never flourish without this close intimacy with God. Your health, physical and spiritual, is weak and useless without a close walk with God. Your vocation can only be discovered and fully realized when you hear from God concerning your call and when you remain in constant fellowship with Him. Your friendships and other relationships are mere window dressing if you and your experience with those people is not founded upon God's desire for you and your life. And all the financial benefits in the world are bankrupt if you are not experiencing success in life with God.
You take a look at the various areas of your life. Are you really successful? If the answer is anything but a resounding YES, then take the time to allow God to speak to you concerning any adjustment that needs to be made. When you hear from God, do what He says!
Enjoying Success in Life!
