Now all the glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. (Jude 1:24)
Elliott played his first tee-ball game over the weekend and had an absolute blast. You never know what to expect when you gather a group of three-year olds, but everything went as well as it could have possibly gone. At this age range, every child has an opportunity at bat, to run the bases, score, and catch balls in the outfield. Everyone is a winner in tee-ball, but as we grow older, the definition of success, as the world defines it, drastically changes.
Success in the world is all about achievements, winning (or bi-winning if you are Charlie Sheen) and the amount of material possessions you own. God sees things completely different...success in God's view include: obedience, love, righteousness, salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life. We fail God when we reject Him.
We should live according to God's definition of success, as the world's success is only temporary and fleeting!
