Was
Pharaoh successful doing the will of the Lord?
Did his stubbornness show
the glory of God?
Did Judas fulfill the will
of God by betraying Jesus?
If it wasn't for Him where
would be the salvation of the blood of Christ?
If Jacob wasn't fearful of
Esau would he have wrestled with the angel?
If David wasn't chased by
Saul would his psalms had any meaning?
If Paul didn’t have his ‘messenger
of Satan’ would God have shown His grace and strength?
If there isn't a successful
adversary where would be the Christian?
Our purpose in life is to love Him with all our
heart
With all our soul, our strength
and with all our mind
To reach for Him with all
our yearning and desire,
To seek His will for our lives
with the passion of our soul,
To do the will of God even
to our detriment
Not to be presumptuous, and
think we can add any value to His will,
In the end we are unprofitable
servants, we have only done our duty
But Success for us is to hear
the words "Well done, good and faithful servant
Enter into the joy of thy
Lord"
