Read Joshua 1:8
This is the last day we will specifically talk about success. It is my goal through these last 5 days to impress upon each of you that success is not registered in a bank account, a corner office overlooking the city, a giant house, an expensive car or any other aspects of success that is portrayed in our society. Success is really between your ears, and how your actions respond to what is in there.
So, a man or woman is a success:
-When they can love, pray and work for others so the world will recognize that they added to the sum total of its goodness and happiness,
-When they can live so that when thy die the world will lament their passing,
-When God acknowledges that they have lived for His glory.
To close out these devotions about being successful, I would like to leave you with a poem.
When things go wrong
As they sometimes will,
When the road you travel
Seems all uphill,
When the funds are low
And the debt is high
You want to smile
But you have to sigh
When cares press you down a bit
Rest if you must
Just don’t quit
“Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”
- George S. Patton
