Give It Up

Verna and Jim Johnson

In our modern society, we are driven to be successful and to be proud of our achievements. Success is often measured by one’s position in life, the amount of money made, and the power one has over others. However, in the end, none of these things really matter, as these measures of success are not recognized by God. The proper measures of success are what we do to help our fellow man in both his physical and spiritual needs. If we are successful by these measures, God will reward us with peace on earth, and He will accept us into heaven. We need to change our priorities and do more to help others. This is particularly true in this time when so many have lost their jobs and are having a hard time meeting even their most basic needs.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help us to seek those in need and help them to get food, clothing, and spiritual uplifting. Amen.
