Success

     What is success? What is prosperity?  When the bible speaks of success it could be referring to prosperity. Or when the bible speaks of prosperity, it could be referring to success. I know one should not use Webster's definitions to find the true meanings of some words in the bible. However,to keep things simple and understandable, let us assume the translators of the bible have taken this into consideration when bringing the text to our level and our language.
     Webster defines success as " a favorable result."  Successful is defined as "turning out as hoped for." Prosperity is defined as "to succed; to thrive."  Prosperous is defined as "successful or favorable." Wealth and wealthy are also attributes of prosperity. I personally believe that wealth is a part of prosperity but prosperity is not necessarily wealth. I pretty much agree with most of the solid teaching, by preachers, of prosperity as it refers to wealth.
     Ask ten people what they would consider success in their lives and you more than likely will get ten different answers. Success is relative to what you want to accomplish in a specific situation or set time.
     Whatever your idea of success is at a given time, God is interested in helping you accomplish and achieve your desires.
     PSALM 35:27 says " the Lord has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant", and PSALM 37:4 says "He shall give you the desires if your heart".
