« For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them »
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.
This set of instructions is not to cease being a part of your conversations. Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to carry out everything that’s written in it, for then you’ll prosper and succeed.
Never stop speaking about this Instruction scroll. Recite it day and night so you can carefully obey everything written in it. Then you will accomplish your objectives and you will succeed.
There is good success and there is bad success.
I know this because Proverbs 10:22 CSB say
« The LORD’s blessing enriches, and He adds no painful effort to it »
From the above, we can infer that there can be a ‘blessing’ with attendant sorrow because it is not from the Lord.
This kind of success is bad.
This may explain why God had to be exact in the type of success He promised in Joshua 1:8.
No one can tamper with good success that comes from God as He has assured His children of divine protection (Psalm 91).
If after a breakthrough, you are afraid of calamity, perhaps the source of that ‘breakthrough’ is not God.
Genesis 26:12-14 bears record of the good success that Isaac recorded.
He was so blessed that even the Philistines envied him.
The secret of his good success is found in Genesis 26:2-6.
We see that Isaac obeyed the Lord, stayed where God asked him to and became prosperous as a result.
If you obey God all the way, good success will not be far from you.
You should pay attention to the Bible reading for today. For Joshua to have good success, God commanded him to keep the book of the law in his mouth and to also meditate therein constantly, so as to. James 1:25 NLT says
« But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it »
Thus, if you want to be blessed of the Lord and obtain good success this season, you must be a doer of God’s word.
Prayer focus – Father, please grant me good success in all my endeavors this year, in the mighty name of Jesus.
