Live By God's Principles!
"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may
observe to do according to all that is written in it. For
then you will make your way prosperous, and then
you will have good success."
Joshua 1: 8
Everyone wants to succeed in life. And there's no end
to the number of books, seminars, life coaches, and the
strategies to help us find success. But do they promise
success in everything?
Can a 75-year-old succeed in his aspiration to become an
astronaut or NFL player? Not likely. While “anything is possible,”
promises of success come with caveats in the world’s markets.
But the Bible records God’s promises of success and prosperity
in everything with a caveat. Success is outgrowth of meditating
on and living by the principles of God’s Word.
When God promised Joshua he would succeed, the promise
was based on Joshua fulfilling something God commissioned
him to do. If Joshua would walk in God’s ways, he would
be
successful in fulfilling God’s commission.
If you want to succeed, discover God’s will
for your life first. Then live by His Word
as
you pursue His will.
"To find his place and fill
it is success for a man."
Phillips Brooks
