There is one common goal of everyone on earth. Every person on earth dreams of a secure future. Some are searching for security for their financial investments, and others are just looking for the security of someone to care about them
Those who are looking for financial security are hoping for that one investment tip that will give them a guaranteed great rate of return. However, those investments with high rates of return usually come with high risk.
Many children are wishing for security at home. Adults are looking for security in their relationships. People are searching for job security, home security, personal security, but very few ever find real security for their future. They purchase more insurance for their homes and other personal property from insurance companies that have made such imprudent investments that they must raise their rates. All of this results in fearful frustration and worthless worry.
God, The Creator, Who knows the future as well as He does the past tells us to, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Pet 5:6-7).
Today everyone is trying to succeed at what they are doing.
Some are trying to achieeve their goal of being a successful CEO. There are people trying to have a successful business, a successful relationship, maybe a successful break-up, the successful ecologists are after the successful farmers who keep the successful grocers in business and feed the successful ecologists.
God put success in perspective when He was speaking to Joshua in Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
