Text: Genesis 41:37-57
Much of the culture views success as something to aspire for and achieve, but there are actually many dangers that come with success and accomplishment. We see this in many aspects of society, but we can also see the spiritual dangers of success. While success can be a wonderful blessing from God, without faithfully honoring Him with these blessings, this success can lead to pride, complacency, selfishness, self-indulgence, forgetfulness, neglect, and stinginess, just to name a few. Because Joseph knew what true success was, he was able to faithfully honor the Lord and overcame the various temptations that come with success. We invite you to listen today, so that you are not ruined by success, but instead use it as a means to bring glory to the Lord and good to others.
