1 Timothy 6:11-12
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.
What do want from life? Success? Money?
There are plenty of studies that show that after a certain point, more money doesn't make us happier; but it can't deny that money can remove common sources of unhappiness. While there is nothing wrong with wanting more in our career and life, we should caution ourselves and ask: Where does that desire come from? "Is it from a place of lack or a place of fullness?" Success is no assurance of happiness or contentment. It can be a barrier in our Christian life.
Lent Spiritual Prompt
Take a moment to define success not as the world defines it but how it should be defined in our Christian life?
Pray
Gracious God, you know me so well. Relieve me of those desires that I think will me make happy but in reality, will damage and hurt me.
Let me focus on you and show me what I should be pursuing in my life.
