Today’s Thought “Driven by Success” G. Ward

 

“The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.” Proverbs 8:13

There are key words and expressions not worthy of man’s adoption and success may be one of them. I say this not for controversy’s sake, but that it may breed introspection. Success is normally a drive that seeks prominence from man; forgetting that stardom among humans is temporal. Moreover, although the archives will reveal tremendous contribution, it competes with millions chronicled also. Success then for believers should be without the kind of provocation that elevates for short spans in fame, but promotes the Enabler (The LORD, high and lifted up) of any, seemingly capable (cf. Jn.15:5). The archive in prudence will never close for those who trust HIM (*cf. Rev.20:15).

Happy Thursday!
