"So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David let the troops in their campaign. In everything he did, he had great success because the Lord was with him."
The way I read this is not that God will bring success to anyone if they say the believe in Him. He will bring success to those who follow His will and live the life he created them for. I can recognize my "success" with this trip b/c God is with me and I know I am doing His will. I do still have that feeling of "spiritual superiority" and ask you help me keep that in check. If I do all of these things in vain or to promote myself, then less people will get to know you. And my whole purpose in life will not be fulfilled. God, I pray you surround me with people who will help me with that struggle and ego. I also ask for the courage to share those emotions as they come up.
