Which will it be; Success . . . or Missing the Mark?

These are the two choices.  You are a success, or you are not.  You are a success or you miss the mark.  God has a plan for you.  That plan, in one word, is success. 

If you get your eyes on what the world calls "success," you will miss the mark.

God defines success in the Bible, and it is the only thing that can satisfy.  God defines failure, too, and commands us not to get involved with it.  Missing the mark is what sin is.

There is a lot of confusion regarding sin and what it is.  In the Bible, sin is simply falling short, missing the mark, not living up to potential.  God has a plan for our potential.  We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  That glory, the glory of God, is so high that it is quite beyond our ability to imagine.

God has set His mark of His high calling.  He has defined His method for reaching that mark.
