To excel in these three categories is to be successful in this world, according to the measure of men.
Men measure men by what they possess, by their physical condition, and how smart they are.
This humanistic philosophy is very deceptive. This is not the essence of life. I admit it would be great to be in perfect health, to have no want for any thing material, and to excel in intelligence. But this is not where life resides. The essence, heart and soul of real, true, life, in this world and in all others, physical and Spiritual is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
