Godly Relationships Propels Success

Devotional Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 MSG
It’s better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there’s no one to help, tough!

Relationships are foundational to success, and as believers, we must prioritize building those that are grounded in Christ. Our anchor text reminds us of the strength in godly relationships. When we link ourselves with those who share our faith, we gain the benefit of mutual support, shared resources, encouragement, and a shared vision that can lead to greater success than we could achieve alone. In every area of life, from career to ministry, the relationships we form can either help or hinder our progress.

Godly relationships are marked by love, humility, and a shared pursuit of God’s will. These are the types of connections that help us remain steadfast in our faith when challenges arise. Whether it’s a friend, mentor, spouse, or colleague, those who have a heart for God will point us back to Scripture, pray for us, and remind us of God’s promises when we feel weary. As we cultivate these types of connections, we not only increase our chances of success but also ensure that the path we walk aligns with God’s plan for our lives.

Success is not just measured by personal achievement but by how well we love and serve others in the process. When we prioritize building godly relationships, we create an environment where success is not just about individual gain but about growing together in love and unity.

The people we journey with can help refine us, guide us, and push us toward the life that God has called us to live. True success comes when we are in alignment with God’s will, surrounded by those who push us toward Him.

Prayer and Confession
My eyes are opened to well defined relationships that will sharpen and shape me for the fulfillment of God’s plan and I have the wisdom to keep those relationships. Amen!
