Dear God-tracker
How do
we measure success? Do we measure it by the growth of productivity? Do we
measure it by a growing bank account or by increased popularity? Or do we
measure success by achieving contentment?
Jeff started a small one-man business after completing
school. It was a modest business to begin with but soon Jeff was making good
money. After just 12 months he hired his first assistant. Soon Jeff’s little
enterprise became a force to be reckoned with and it was not long before he was
thriving and making lots of money. Jeff was building his empire and he was
happy. Sadly, however, Jeff became discontent with his level of success and was
soon striving for bigger and better options that would bring in more and more
money.
One day, in his blind ambition, young Jeff entered onto
a deal that turned sour. In just 6 months his company had collapsed leaving him
with massive debt and facing a life of scarcity. Though a Christian, young Jeff
had built his house in his own strength and, with selfish ambition in his
heart, had failed to acknowledge the Lord in his work. Jeff had lost track of
the plans that God had for him. God’s plans were for his prosperity, indeed,
but a prosperity that comes through godliness with contentment.
Jeff’s scenario plays out for any walk of life we may
all face: business, career, relationships and even church life. The scripture
says that unless the Lord builds the house, the labourers who build labour in
vain. It also says that whatever we do in life, we should do for the Lord and
that in him our efforts are never in vain. So my encouragement to you today is
to step back from your efforts to gain a clearer view of how God sees your
labours. Get out from under God’s feet and into his hands. Acknowledge the Lord
in every aspect of your life – every choice,
every relationship, every business venture, every job – and then learn to be content in the level of success that God
brings your way. We are certainly all called to produce good fruit and to be
productive in our lives but this productivity will only be truly prosperous
when we learn to build with God as our foreman.
Be blessed
Dudley

Quote of the Week
Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes
"Content makes poor men rich; discontent
makes rich men poor." --- Benjamin Franklin
Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!
Guide me and direct me to build this house
according to your blueprint, O Lord
“Sovereign
Lord, I admit that I have excluded you from my business ventures. It’s likely
that I have excluded you from many relationships and activities in my life,
too. Please forgive me. Today I take this moment to re-acknowledge you in every
aspect of my life from my friendships to my family; from my career to my church
activities. I confess you as foreman of my life. Guide me and direct me to
build this house according to your blueprint, O Lord. Amen.”
