"Success" Only Matters if God Thinks So

How can we know?

Would you agree that the “Giants” that each of us face—probably differ significantly from person to person? Judges 3:1-4

See if, before God, you can name two or three Giants in your life.

I think we all understand that our Temptations often differ from those around us.

If THAT is true, our Giants differ… doesn’t it stand to reason that “success” in this lifetime would be very tied to what our giant is and our heart-response to the giant? Perhaps not so much the conquering, but the fight, the courage to face the giant, the resolve to never give in to the giant under any circumstances ever, the faith to believe we are covered in Jesus blood, regardless of the outcome this time?

If THAT is true, our Giants differ… doesn’t it stand to reason that the definition of “success” in your life and in God’s eyes is different than the definition of success that the world tries to jam down our throats? Measuring in trinkets and bobbles, affirmations of the world and accomplishments (the way the world system tries to measure or define us) is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary.

Are you “a success”? The world system of temptation and seen-world metrics knows nothing of the “Giants” that Father has allowed you to face repeatedly and perhaps endlessly :-) and therefore knows nothing about what your success in life could be, shall be.

Your “success” is directly tied to your heart-response to the giant! Not the conquering, but the fight, the courage to face the giant, the resolve to never give in to the giant under any circumstances ever, the faith to believe we are covered in Jesus blood, regardless of the outcome.

BE A FULL AND COMPLETE AND UNAPOLOGETIC SUCCESS, THROUGH AND THROUGH IN LIFE, BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST—BY “HOW YOU FACE *YOUR* GIANTS”!

Who you are and what you give. Not what you have done or what you have.
