How can I make it to the top?
January 31st, 2018 Posted by Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin Ask the Rabbi 12 commentsI would like to know how I can get God’s help in being successful in reaching top position in the area of finance when the competition is so high and there are people who are smarter than me and I have been encountering so many defeats and humiliation while I am working towards my goal.

Dear Kurian,
Based on your letter, we are assuming that English isn’t your native tongue, but we hope we understand your question correctly.
Sometimes, when addressing live audiences, I (Rabbi Daniel Lapin) ask them if they think God wants us to be rich. Some say ‘yes’ and some answer, ‘no’. I then explain that God hasn’t shared His desire on this with me. However, I do know that a good and loving God, in the grand scheme of things, set up a system that rewards those of His children who devote their lives to helping His other children. In general, the more people you help and the more unique that help is, the better you will do financially.
