If you knew someone who had the answer to success in life wouldn't you go and talk to them about it? Well the answer is actually found in Joshua 1:1-9! More specifically verses 8-9.
Here are the steps in more detail that you have to follow in order to achieve true success.
1. Reject the worlds view of success-(vs. 7)
*money, material possessions, popularity, power-Luke 12:15-21
2. Embrace a theo-centric view of success-(vs. 7-9)
3. Pursue God's plan of success
A. Take sin seriously-(vs. 2-6)
*if you don't kill sin it will kill you-Numbers 33:50-56
B. Treasure the word-(vs. 8)
* soak yourself in God's word...see what God wants to teach you in your daily devotions...dwell, meditate, and observe, have a desire to learn more about God and love Him
C. Trust in the Lord-(vs. 9)
* if you love the Lord and long to know him better, you will surrender your life to him and fully rely on him for everything you may need to fulfill his plan for you.
Wow, that is a really good message. I find it hard to embrace God's meaning of success. To often I try and think of it as money.
