Joshua 1:8 8This 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.
In life, there is good success and bad success. Bad success is the kind of success
which robs you of time with your family, friends and church, and destroys
your health and relationships. With good success, on the other hand, you see
prosperity in every area of your life.
God wants you to enjoy good success and the key to this lies in what God
told Joshua when he took over the reins following the death of his leader
Moses — “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.” Spending time in God’s Word daily will give you godly wisdom,
which will make your way prosperous and give you good success.
Look at how Joshua’s life turned out in the end. When Joshua died, “they
buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in
the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash”. (Joshua 24:30)
Joshua had a whole mountain for his inheritance! This means that he was prosperous
and successful!
It was also said that Israel served the Lord, not idols or other gods, all the days
of Joshua’s life. (Joshua 24:31) This means that while Joshua was around, people
were impacted for God’s glory.
And at the end of his life, a fulfilled Joshua had this to say, “But as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) Having your family loving God
and serving Him with you is the most important success and greatest prosperity
that you can ever have.
Beloved, when God’s Word takes priority in your daily life, not only will your
finances be blessed, your ministry and family life will also be blessed!
