While it is true that many non-believers have had success in the eyes of this world (in fact, it would probably be accurate to say that most “successful” people are non-Christians), the fact remains that true, meaningful success is not measured by an important job title or big bank account but rather by spiritual growth. As Jesus said, “[W]hat does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36). As we face a world lusting after temporal, worldly success, let us seek first God’s Kingdom and find peace in knowing that those who seek Him experience true success.
