How does God define success?  His measure is very different from the world's measure, and it can be summed up by one sentence:  Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.  As long as we are faithful to the one who appointed us that is all that matters.  (Hebrews 3:1-2)  Did you know the greatest gift God has given us is His Word. The Word of God has everything we need to live a meaningful and fulfilling life on this earth.  Forsaking the reading and application of His Word is detrimental to the life of the believer.  The Word of God is priceless, and we must prioritize it in everything we do in order to please Him.  When our ways please God and we are obedient to His Word there is no end to His promotions and blessings in our lives.  (Proverbs 16:17)  We will find the love, joy, peace, good health, prosperity and long life we desire in His Word.  Take counsel in His Word, and he will direct our path in the right way.
