“And he said to them, ‘Do not hinder me, since the Lord has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.’”
Genesis 24:56

Ponder This
What is success? It is the progressive realization of the will of God for your life. How many people have the wrong idea of success? Somebody said, “You know you’re important and successful if you’re invited to the White House for a conference.” Somebody else said, “No, that’s not success. You’re successful if you’re invited to the White House for a conference, and you’re in the Oval Office, and that red emergency phone rings, but the President is so interested talking to you, he doesn’t answer the red phone.” Somebody said, “No, that’s not success. Success is when you’re in the Oval Office talking to the President; the red phone rings; and he does pick it up, but he says, ‘Here, it’s for you!’”
Now in the eyes of the world, maybe that is success, but not necessarily so. You can be important and not successful. You can be rich and not successful. You can be notorious and not successful. You can have power and not be successful.
What is success? One definition of failure is succeeding in the wrong thing. A wise man has said, “Whatever a man does without God, in that thing he will do one of two things. Either he will fail miserably or succeed more miserably.”
- How have you defined success so far?
- How could this definition of success change your goals and ambitions?
