Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Luke 10:17-24
Success is tricky. What is success? How should you measure your success? How do you check the results of being faithful and true? Is it by ‘likes’ on social media? It might be, it might not. Does success lie in being popular? The disciples come back to Jesus full of their own successes in fighting evil. But Jesus warns them: “Do not rejoice at this ... but rejoice that your names are written in heaven”. In other words, be glad if and when you are doing the right thing, not because other people like you for it. They may not.
