About this episode
How do you define success? Being promoted? Achieving a certain number of social media followers? Reaching a particular income level? Well, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines it simply as, "a favorable or desired outcome." Take a moment today and consider how God's desired outcome looks different than the world's. In Matthew 22, Jesus tells a lawyer there are two main things we should desire in life… and they have nothing to do with financial status, power, or position! He said, "you shall love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind… and shall love your neighbor as yourself." What kind of desired outcome are you pursuing at work: the world's version of success that centers on personal gain? Or God's, which is about honoring Him and loving those around you?

Take a moment today and consider how God's desired outcome looks different than the world. In Matthew 22, Jesus tells a lawyer that there are two main things we should desire in life, and they have nothing to do with financial status, power or position. He said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and shall love your neighbor as yourself. What kind of desired outcome are you pursuing at work? The world's version of success that centers on personal gain or gods, which is about honoring him and loving those around you.
