TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Joshua 1:8 "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."
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.
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!
