"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Joshua 1:8

God wants you to succeed, it's up to you to meditate on His word day and night and He will do His part in return. People say that God works in mysterious way but the truth is He is an open book. He reveals Himself completely in the Bible. He gives distinct guidelines to have long lives and prosperity. The above scripture is well-known, but how many of us do what it says? I am sure we all want to succeed and to prosper, but no too many of us want to meditate and live according to the Word, consequently we go in circle without reaching our full potential on this earth.
What does it mean to meditate day and night? Meditation is not only thinking about a passage you may have read at the beginning of your day. To meditate is to live by biblical principles throughout the day. All our "say" and "do" should be aligned with the Word of God. It should be difficult at first, but will get easier with times. Take time to know God through His written Word. When you meditate the Word of God, you should also personalize the content of the Word, read and apply it as if it is written just for you. There is overwhelming evidence throughout the Bible that God wants His people to prosper. He wants us to have a relationship with Him. He wants to fulfill His plan in our lives but we must obey His word. Obedience is not a secret. It is revealed in the Bible as the key to many blessing including prosperity.
There is always a promise attached to obedience. God promised to make Abraham a great nation if he'd give up everything and go where He sent him. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing". Genesis 12:1, and "If you live in accordance with my precepts and are careful to observe my commandments, I will give you rain in due season, so that the land will bear its crops, and the trees their fruit" Leviticus 26:3-4 (read the entire chapter). God always keep His promises. He will do for you what He has done for many others. Start living according to His word and experience health and prosperity beyond understanding, because God’s instructions to Joshua preparatory to entering the Promised Land, remains a proven formula to success for us today. It is the purpose of God to call us back to His Word so that the Holy Spirit can strengthen and bolster our faith. The renewed involvement with the Word of God (read/meditate/personalize) is the dynamic behind all awakenings, revivals, renewal and reformations. The Holy Spirit gives light. He opens our eyes to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and creates faith. Friend, there cannot be revival without changed lives. There are no changed lives without the Holy Spirit. And there is no working of the Holy Spirit apart from the Word of God.
Praise the Lord!
