Ps Brad Bonhomme
"The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22
GOD DOES NOT SIMPLY want you to experience success in your life. He wants you to experience good success. There is no doubt that there is such a thing as ‘bad success.’ There are people in the world today who have climbed the ladder of what the world would deem to be success: fame and wealth. However, many of these people have underlying challenges and difficulties which can become life-controlling problems.
Ps. Joseph Prince made a comment once that I have never forgotten, “Having financial success alone does not equate to good success, good success is holistic and permeates every spectrum of your life.”
God is concerned about the relationship that you have with your kids. He is concerned about the way that spouses interact with each other. He is completely committed to ensuring that you enjoy wholesome and fulfilling friendships in your life regardless of which stage you are at in your journey.
Does God want to bless our finances? Absolutely! However, when God thinks of success, He sees it from an all-inclusive perspective. Build your family, experience meaningful and nourishing relationships in the church and have good success in every area of your life!
