I jotted this quote in my journal several weeks ago and find myself coming back to it again and again. It serves as another reminder that God's ways and my ways, God's perspective and my perspective, God's idea of success and my own are not the same. Too often I measure how I'm doing by the results I "see" or don't "see." I need these reminders to help me stay focused and on track.
"In the Christian life it is important to understand that our highest success is not measured by the effect we have upon others, but strictly by our obedience to God. In other words, God does not credit us that someone came to faith in Christ through our words – He credits us for our obedience. We obey and speak the truth – God bears the fruit..." (1 Corinthians 3:6). - Reb Bradley |
