| While this may be the world’s recipe for success, it made me think of the Scriptural formula for success. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8). It is only as we read, meditate on, and obey the Word of God that we will have true spiritual success. We may not have much of what the world calls success in term of material wealth and position, but the Lord said, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). |
