New Year Recipe
Google
the word “success” and you’ll quickly discover that people are interested in
everything from how to be successful, to who is successful and why, to what it
takes to realize one’s dreams. For many, success is an obsession.
|
For then you will make your way prosperous,
and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8
|
What is
the recipe for success as described in today’s verse? “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.”
(Joshua 1:8) Psalm 1:3 describes the person who meditates on God’s Word as
being “like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its
season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Jesus
(also known as The Word) says, “Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is
that bears much fruit.” (John 15:5)
In this New Year, delight in the Lord and mediate on the truth of the Bible. He’ll shape your desires according to His will and then grant them (Psalm 37:4, I John 5:14). Then pray that American citizens will turn to God as their source of genuine success.
