True success

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” - Joshua 1v8

There are all kinds of measures of success. Some think success comes with a fat chequebook. Some think that success comes from being popular. Success is measured by the people we know, the cars we drive, the houses we own and the size of our ministries.

God’s view of success is very different. God says that there is a way to sure success.

Don’t let God word depart from your mouth

Meditate on God’s word day and night

Do all that is written therein

God is the definer of success. He says that is we do these we will prosper and have good success. However He uses His measuring rod of success. God’s measure of success may very well be nothing like our view of success.

What kind of success would you rather have? God’s or mans?
