Successful

The secret of great success doesn't lie in treasure found on earth. Why would that be considered successful? It is temporary. They are nothing but temporary things that will burn up at the End of the Day. 

It's not about making a name for yourself or bringing yourself up high. Who has ever lived forever here on earth? Who can continue to enjoy their riches on earth forever? No one. For all will pass from this earth and into eternity where things that last forever will truly exist. You live in a mere tent, as Paul called it. (2 Corin. 5:1) A temporary shelter as you live as a foreigner in this land. You live with your eyes set on heaven and heaven's treasure -- for only there you can live out your days forever and ever, enjoying the fruit of your labor. 


So don't be so caught up in this realm. Earth is a realm that can not exist forever. Do not build an earthly kingdom. Be caught up in the eternal Kingdom.
