Jesus defined success in John 4:34. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.” My Dad often gave me a list of things to do on the farm while he was gone. It was easy for me to determine my level of success; that list determined it. When Dad got back, did I get everything done on the list or not? Psalms 139:16 says that God has a list for my life, “And in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” God doesn’t hand us the list like my Dad did; he expects us to figure it out. That process began in earnest when I decided I was going to college instead of Vietnam, and what College that would be. After that, the choices that needed to be made came quickly, some minor and others very significant. I prayed a lot, asking for guidance and wisdom. I pondered and thought long and hard about many of my choices. I got married and had eight kids, and then my choices were not just about me; and I needed to include others in the choosing process. Now, I am 75 years old, with few choices left to make. Sometimes I sit and think about the day when I stand before Jesus at the “Judgment Seat of Christ” , and see His list for my life. I wonder how successful I will have been over the years I lived here on earth as a disciple for Jesus. Even though I probably don’t have a lot of choices left to make, I do think, pray, and get counsel for them, I want to do well, and cross off more things on Jesus’s “to do list” for me.
