Careful...sounds like leftist infiltration using religious guilt to pressure people to give up on striving for a better life.
Exactly. It is God who allows and enables folks to,achieve success or not. One can have both success AND a close relationship with God, being thankful for what God has allowed. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
There is danger in success to be sure, and many do seek it outside of God’s will, and God does allow them to achieve it outside of his ultimate will for purposes known to God, but on the flipside, God does allow many to be successful because that is his ultimate will for their lives, again, for his purpose.
It is not for us to look upon people of success and declare that they are outside of God’s will- they may or may not be, but whatever the case, God is in control for his own good purposes.
