God has a plan to give victory to His people. Definitely, God hasn’t planned to harm us, but to prosper us so we will prosper and succeed. (Jer. 29:11)

There is a difference between prosperity and success. Prosperity is what we achieve through perseverance, hard work, and determination. We don’t get prosperity so easily, but we have to pay the price. However, success is what we achieve because of God’s involvement in us.

Today’s scripture tells us that God will make our way prosperous, and we will have good success. In fact, not all Christians live in prosperous way and have good success. Therefore, God tells Joshua the rules:

1. We have to be strong and of good courage (read Joshua 1:6-7). “Be strong and of good courage” is mentioned two times, represents that this message is very important because we often give up during difficult times and we might even say, “I cannot handle it, I think I’m going to die!”

2. We need to meditate on, declare, and do the Word of God. It means that we have to stand firm in the Word no matter how hard the situation is. Lord Jesus says, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”(John 15:7)

 

Joshua lived in prosperous way and had good success in his life and he enjoyed living in the Land of Canaan because he lived according to God’s will!
