Be Healthy… A Healthy
Fear of It – Success!
Success comes from God, not of our own works, and those that
walk with God understand what it is that I inferring. Success encompasses so much more than the
commas in your bank account. And if
success were all that was needed to be happy, then all the people who live
above the poverty level would be significantly happier than those beneath it but that isn't the case. Because the rain falls on both the just as
well as the unjust, and life is an equal opportunity distributor of both good
and bad.
Just as we have the good
sense to fear God, we should also learn to fear success. Anything of God
should be reverenced with a healthy fear.
I would love to say, “I am ready for success”, but I have
the foresight to look out over the world and be cognizant that all who are
supposedly “successful” can hardly
handle it or are consumed whole by
it. Money is not success. Success is when all God’s blessings are producing fruit in your life. When
the success that the Lord spoke to me comes to pass, I know that it will be a
beast to place into submission; I have to break-it, as a wild animal is trained
or else it be dominant over me.
Therefore, lay success at the feet of the one who guaranteed
its success and fear that you have
the wisdom and understanding to wield it as best to give God the Glory.
Joshua 1:8 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.
There it is, in the Lord’s words and not of my own. It is God who makes us successfully healthy.
