Proverbs 16:32
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Being mighty, rich, and successful doesn’t make you a good person… in fact, it often makes you the opposite. If you have all the success in the world but lack good character, what does that make you? What does it profit someone to gain the whole world, but lose their soul? Instead of putting so much emphasis on accomplishments, focus on being the person God wants you to be. Be patient and wise, and practice self-control, making obedience to Him your number one priority. After all, the things that matter in the long term aren’t earthly successes; instead, it’s the person you were before God, and the good works you did for His kingdom.
