How To Have Success!
"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
Imagine the most challenging task you have faced
in your life. Say, managing a life-altering medical
condition, getting married and starting a family,
moving overseas to a new culture, or starting
over after surviving a natural disaster.
Or, in the case of Joshua, leading a million
or more people into a new land and setting
up an orderly
nation.
God promised Joshua he would be prosperous
and successful when he did one thing: meditate
and faithfully obey God’s Word. In God’s Word
Joshua would not find detailed solutions to
every problem he faced.
Joshua did find principles of faith, obedience,
guidance, service, and submission that would
lead him to the answers he needed. Paul then
echoed the same sentiment centuries later
in 2 Timothy 3:16.
Every day fill your heart and mind with life
principles from Scripture. Let God use His
Word to guide you and give you
“good success.”
"The Word of God is
either absolute
or
obsolete."
