How to Become Successful

Joshua 1:6-8 ESV

“Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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.”

Here is the formula for success:

1)      Commit all your work to the Lord.

2)      Obedience is not requested, it is commanded.

3)      Be strong and courageous because that is what God gives you, strength and courage.

4)      Read God’s words faithfully.

5)      Study God’s words faithfully.

6)      Pray the words of God faithfully

7)      Live by the Words of God faithfully.

“Then you will make your way prosperous, then you will have good success.”

Prayer:

Lord, help us to walk in obedience and submission. We desire to be faithful in reading Your words, studying Your words, praying Your words, and living faithfully by Your words.  You have given us strength and courage, help us to exercise what You have given us. Our lives are not our own, we belong to You. In Your name Lord Jesus we pray, Amen!
