In our society, success is often defined by certain accomplishments, milestones, or material possessions. We are bombarded with messages that tell us we need to be or do certain things to be successful. However, this pressure to succeed can often prevent us from being present with God and fully embracing His process for our purpose.
As believers, we are called to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and acknowledge Him in all our ways. This means surrendering our own understanding and plans to His will, and allowing Him to guide us on the path He has set before us. It's important to remember that God's process may not always look like what we expect, but His ways are higher than our ways.
Being present with God allows us to see what He is doing in us and through us in real time. It enables us to fully embrace the journey and appreciate each step, rather than being consumed with what we want to achieve in the future. Success should not be defined solely by what we accomplish, but by the impact and influence we have on the lives of others.
Just like building a structure, each brick in our journey serves a purpose. The rough side may not feel good, but it's what helps secure the next brick and keeps the structure strong. It's important to embrace the process, both the smooth and rough sides, and trust that God is using each step for our ultimate good and His glory.
So let us be free from the pressure of success and embrace God's process for our purpose. Let us trust in Him, acknowledge Him in all our ways, and allow Him to make our paths straight.
