Are you successful? (2-minute Devotional)

Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the whore, forsaking your God. You have loved a prostitute's wages on all threshing floors.
—Hosea 9:1

Happy Monday!

The world's definition of success is not the same as the biblical one. The world defines it by measuring the amount of wealth, power, and popularity. However, it does not bring happiness nor joy. The biblical definition is simply obedience to God. Today's text reminds us that when we do not obey God, we are forsaking Him. Does God feel far from you? If so, let me ask you, are you obeying God? Let us draw near to God by obeying His command to love Him and others.

And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
—1 John 4:21
