You don’t have to win to be successful. You don’t even have to succeed to be successful. You only have to be faithful. Dear God followers, we are called to be faithful. We are not called to be successful. However, I am the first to admit that I often forget this truth. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with success, whether in life or in serving the Lord. But our chief calling as God’s people is to be faithful to Him, to serve Him with excellence, to obey Him wholeheartedly. If God chooses to bless our efforts with success, that’s great. But many times we cannot guarantee success. We can choose to be faithful, however, to do as well as we can, with that which God has set before us.
