What Is Success?

It's nice to have money, but is success measured by how much you have? It's good to live a long time, but does longevity equal success? It's great to have relationships where you get as much as you give, but do quality relationships make you successful? I suppose the question is what do we really use to measure a successful life? We have seen people that are considered to be wildly successful in one area while they have gaping holes in other areas. Does a great financial life filled with poor health choices add up to success? Are you successful when you have popularity and disastrous relationships? There is a simple formula in Joshua 1:8: This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Obedience to God through His word is the way to good success. Any other way may be considered successful by a variety of standards, but the success may not be good. Have a great day doing what you know God wants done!
