The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Staying in the will of God and following His ways is the only way to guarantee a life of meaning and success. After all is said and done we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ and answer for our actions on the earth. It won’t matter how much money we made or how well we were able to take care of ourselves and our families. The things that will really matter are whether or not we lived for God and obeyed His commands. So in your pursuit for a life of success, always keep God at the forefront. Do not lose sight of the things that are most important in this life but also for all of eternity.
Wealth gives us power and options which can cause us to become proud. We might start to think that we are somehow better than others and start to look down upon other people. Once we start to experience success we need to remain humble and relatable people. We should look upon those who are still struggling with mercy and see how to help them up instead of frowning upon them and blaming them for their circumstances. Let us do whatever we can to help them become better people. Let us offer a helping hand and remember the many people that have played an important role in our own lives.
I wish you a life filled with success and the goodness of God. I pray that you will overcome your failures and fulfil God’s plans for your life. Amen.
