Scriptural Keys to Success in Life part 3

THE WORD FOR TODAY: Be careful to obey all the law JOSHUA 1:7
Notice three things God said to Joshua: (1)’Get ready to cross ......into the land’ (Joshua 1:2). Henry Ford observed,’before everything else getting ready is the secret of success. ‘The frustrating about preparation is, sometimes it takes more time than the actual event you are preparing for. There is an old saying: ‘you can claim to be surprised once; after that you’re unprepared.’ (2)’your territory will extend from......’(Joshua 1:4 NIV). You have to know where you are going ! you can not be like Alice in through the Looking Glass who ask the Cheshire cat:’ Would you tell me which way i ought to go from here?’ that depends on where you want to get, ‘the cat. Replies, ‘i don’t care much where,’ she answers. ‘then it does not matter which way you go,’ the cat responds. People who are undecided can not draw on their faith or their gifting. As a result they just drift along. Author Bill Copeland advices, ‘you have removed most of the road blocks to success when you know the difference between motion and direction.’ To be successful in life you must do the right things, moment by moment, day by day, following through with them in a consistent way.
