Are You Successful?

How do you define success?  Is it a flourishing career, a beautiful home, fancy electronics, lots of “rainy day”  money in the bank?  Most people would say yes to those things and there is nothing wrong with that.  If you work hard and are responsible, why can’t you reap the benefits?  That is how success is viewed in today’s society.  The more money and shiny things you own, the more successful you are.  But what if we look at it from God’s perspective? Do you think we would see things differently?
