"If you open your Bible to Joshua, chapter 1, you'll find the only chapter in the Bible where the spiritual life is discussed in terms of "success" and "prosperity". The last phrase of verse 7 says, "so that you may have success where you go." And in verse eight it talks about making "your way prosperous". I don't know any Christian who would not want to be spiritually successful and prosperous, and Joshua 1 holds the key to realizing them both. It takes us down to the lowest common denominator of spiritual commitment -- that which we have to do to be spiritually successful."
"Obeying the Father", Ready!Set!Growth! by David Jeremiah.
Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Joshua 1: 7-8
