Measuring Success

Godly success is measured by faithfulness. There aren't enough computers in the world to calculate the significance and success in serving God. How do you become successful? Start by trusting God. Continue by living for Him every day. Claim the sanctified experience. Make it even more purposeful by celebrating radical obscurity. Your life will be dripping with faithfulness...and authentic success.

Now you know I'm not given to formulaic spirituality. The point is faithfulness. Now look at how it really works...(in the scripture here) Hallelujah!

1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NIV)
24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Thanks Jim. I needed this simple reminder today.

Success has been defined as, the realization of a worthy goal. The problem for many is defining a goal, or settling for one too easily attainable. St. Paul defines it for us all when he writes, "I press on towards the goal, to the prize of God's heavenly calling in Christ Jesus."

Success for the Christian is in pressing on, in the call.

Best, Sven
