WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION?
"Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this too is meaningless-like chasing the wind."(Eccl. 4:4,NLT) Everyone in the world has a desire to be successful in life. But what really is the motivation behind such desires? It is not bad to want to be successful. And in fact, God wishes above all things that you may prosper. But working hard to be successful just to prove a point to those who might have looked down on you is meaningless. We see in our text that, success motivated by envying a neigbour is just like chasing after the wind. You will catch nothing! God wants you to succeed, but wants you to do so with the right motive and also through the right means. This year, your success is guaranteed, so don't allow any spirit of envy to rule you. God is working with a plan, and once you follow through with it, you are assured of safe landing. Don't fret; stay calm and check your motives. You are already a success! AB@TWD
