Store up for your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. Where your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.
Matthew 6:20-21
What is success? Many measure success by means of a job title, owning lots of real estate, owning many possessions, maybe even owning your own business. Like others, I once measured success in earthly things. It wasn’t until God took what I thought to be my “success and safety” away that I realized I was measuring my success with the wrong instrument.
Material possessions and wealth are meaningless when our time on earth is done. Our actions in life and our relationship with God is what we take with us when we leave this world.
Application
What do your value? How do you define success?
Prayer
Father, may my heart and thoughts be with you in all I do.
