Attain God Success
He who has God and everything has no more than the person who has God alone.
When Joshua became leader of Israel in place of Moses, God told him:
‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).
There are two kinds of success: a success that fulfills God’s will for your life; and success that is temporal can leave you feeling empty, and dies when you die.
Boris Becker, the world championship tennis player, reportedly contemplated suicide because of the sheer emptiness he experienced in life.
Even though he appeared to be successful, he knew his life wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.
‘I had won Wimbledon twice before, once as the youngest player,’ he said. ‘I was rich.
I had all the material possessions I needed: money, cars, women, everything. I know this is a cliché.
It is the old song of the movie and pop stars who commit suicide. They have everything and yet they are so unhappy.
