Many stories are told of those who climbed from rags to riches. What took them there? Devotion to their goal, diligence, and discipline. They defined their objective and, with single-minded determination, made every effort to reach it. Just as some expend such trouble on earthly riches, we should do the same for heavenly riches! Take on a new objective today: make it your life's goal to become rich toward God. The dividends are eternal.
