Over 40 years in businees and close to 65 years of living, my conclusion, my opinion, and my belief is very simple. True success BEGINS with faith in the God of the bible. Please notice, I did not say faith in something. I said faith in the God of the bible.
I personally know and have met many people who are, what the world considers, successful. They have lots of money and lots of things. Their situation looks as perfect as one would want. Their children are perfect and good looking. They never get into trouble. It appears as though they have a text book marriage. Everything looks beautiful.!!
If you were to ask them if they have faith, they do. They have faith in themselves, in their money, in the government, in the economy, in their stocks,bonds, and CD's. They have faith in their children. Oh, yes, they have faith in their CHURCH also.
However, if you watch them closely, there is an emptiness. There is a lonliness. There are secret, hidden questions that they ask themselves. Most of the questions pertain to this one thing. IS THIS ALL THERE IS?
How do I know that? Because they have asked me that very question.
The bible tells us it is impossible to please God without faith. That means faith in Him (God).
So, it really doesn't matter how much stuff, status or things you have. If you are not pleasing to your Creator, by having faith in Him, it is impossible to have true success that brings love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control.
However, if you do have faith in Him, He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him....!!!
