Thursday, July 25th devotional Good morning! Herman Cain, American business man made the following statement about success; "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." One dictionary defines success as: favorable or desired outcome. Also: The attainment of wealth, favor or eminence. King Solomon of Israel is historically considered one of the wealthiest kings in ancient history. During his lifetime Solomon became know to a vast majority of the world for his great wisdom. It is recorded that heads of state visited and gave expensive gifts of gold and silver in exchange to spend time with King Solomon. Solomon is the major contributing author in the book of Proverbs in the Bible. Proverbs is know for providing very practical guidelines for living. Solomon’s wisdom brought him great wealth and fame. Solomon is also the author of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes is a record of how possessions and even wealth, without the balance of God and faith, don’t bring true happiness. Heavenly Father, help us to keep our focus on that which provides real happiness in life. That happiness is in knowing You as the source of life, and not the things we possess. In Jesus name, amen.
