Success

So how are you doing? You up there on the mountaintop of career…you up there with the trophies of accomplishment. Be careful up there in the heights! A slippery slope surrounds the peak of success. It’s a long, hard, painful slide to the bottom. If you are not careful, success will produce pride, and pride always comes before a fall. 

If you are not careful, success will produce pride, and pride always comes before a fall.

Let’s pray that God will grant them his success!

Following Jesus should not be dependent on our circumstances. We should trust Him just as much in our success as in our failure.

How are you doing? You, up there on the mountaintop of career. You, up there with the trophies of accomplishment. Be careful up there in the heights. The peak of victory is surrounded by a slippery slope.

Thank God for good friends!

Success can lock you into pride and pride always sits on the top of a very slippery slope.

Is it because we can’t or won’t trust God that we place our trust in all this other stuff? I believe there is a big lesson to learn from Israel’s king, Ahaziah.
