Success--It all depends on how you read it.

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.



It is quite amazing on how so many of today's people are constantly trying to teach and preach a success story, about how well off we could be, or how great we could be. Never do they share the way of success in light of Biblical principle. The only verse I could find with this word comes from the book of Joshua. As I am convinced it is not by my merits that I am successful, but that I honor the Lord by obeying the Bible in all that I do. The versus that mention success or prosperity are formed from a relationship with God that in it He allows us to glean from His word on how we should treat others, treat situations, and ourselves. They guide us with infinite wisdom in all matters concerning our business, and personal endeavours. I am so glad that we can go to the Bible and get direction on correcting a situation, or ourselves in that we might glorify God through our actions after allowing His word to pierce our hearts.
