"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 (NKJV)
Success is something that nearly everyone is striving for in some way. About the only people who are not looking for success are those who don't believe it is possible for them to succeed in life. For some people, success means reaching a certain goal or achievement, and for others, success would mean getting out of their present negative situation into something better. Whatever the case, most people want to have success and no one likes to fail. Today there are many books and programs available that claim to help people find success, but many people still do not find it.
Although not everyone actually believes it, God wants people to succeed. While the meaning of success may differ in the minds of some people, God wants everyone to do well and live a life of success and well-being. But, a life of success is not the goal, it is really the result of following God's plan for our life and things working the way that they should as we follow God. People often make the mistake of pursuing the idea of success without realizing that by doing this they are putting the result ahead of the method and thereby hindering themselves from the success they desire.
In the Bible, God gives us the real plan for success that anyone can follow. After the death of Moses, Joshua became the leader of the nation of Israel. God showed Joshua that the way to success was through knowing, speaking, and doing the Word of God. To succeed Joshua needed to know what God had said so that he could do what God had said, and he could then say what God had said. No matter what area of life we need to succeed in, the way to success is the same for us as it was for Joshua: we need to know, speak, and do the Word. By following God's direction, Joshua was able to succeed and we can too!
