Good Success
“Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.”
~Author Unknown
I read in Joshua 1:8 that the Lord told Joshua he would have good success. Although there were many battles and losses the Lord was with them. It wasn’t all about finances…clearly.
Success is always a decision of the heart. Even as a Christian. I know that when I make my life count for God and make stands in my life for Him I am not winning any popularity contests…I most likely won’t get rich, either…
I dearly loved friend of mine once said that he didn’t want to be filthy rich…just a little dirty.
Whatever the case may be, I understand that obedience is better than sacrifice.
By the way…I’m still running…
Spiritually speaking more than naturally that is…
Running this race with patience.

ha! love this...how true...something tells me that there's nothing wrong with this at all...especially when it's mixed with the compassion of God and a 'sowing heart' toward those to whom the Lord leads you to sow to...
