Everyone wants success, but if it comes at the expense of integrity and honor, the cost is too high. God is interested in your success, but He’s more interested in your character. Putting Him first is the secret to success!
Psalm 15:1-3 measures success as admittance into God’s presence, and describes what it takes to get there:
LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
