Success...

by Debi Baker

"8 Study this Book of Instruction continually.  Meditate on it day and night so you will be 
sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." 
Joshua 1:8 NLT

Success...the world has a skewed idea of what success really is.  For many people, success comes from their job.  Perhaps some think success is education.  Others may think success is owning valuable homes or cars.  God gives us His definition of success in Joshua 1:8.  And it's really very easy for us to obtain true success.  God says success is studying His Instruction Manual, ie:  the Bible; He says to meditate on His word day and night; and finally, He tells us to obey His word.  When we obey His word, that's when we prosper and are successful!

It's so easy to be successful.  Study, meditate, obey!  It really can't get any easier than this.  We don't have to work 24/7 at our job to be successful.  We don't have to own a winter home and a summer home to be successful.  We don't have to live high on the hog.  We are simply supposed to study, meditate on and obey God's word!!

Today, I challenge you to redefine your idea of success.  Make your definition line up with God's word.  Then follow those instructions and be truly successful!!!

Have a wonderful day being successful according to God's definition!!
