Scripture
What do you have that you did not receive? 1 Corinthians 4:7.
Devotional
Success can be a blessing, but it can also become a test.
As your business grows and your influence expands, it becomes increasingly important to remember where every opportunity originates.
Your abilities are gifts.
Your opportunities are gifts.
Your relationships are gifts.
Your successes are gifts.
This perspective protects your heart from pride.
Humility does not diminish accomplishment. Rather, it recognizes God's hand behind every accomplishment.
The most respected leaders are often those who remain humble despite success. They continue learning. They continue listening. They continue giving credit where it belongs.
Humility keeps success in proper perspective.
Instead of asking, "What have I achieved?" humility asks, "How can I steward what God has entrusted to me?"
Success becomes less about personal recognition and more about Kingdom responsibility.
The more God entrusts to you, the greater your opportunity to serve others, demonstrate generosity, and honor Him.
True success is not measured by what you accumulate.
It is measured by how faithfully you steward what you receive.
