How to prosper and succeed

“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Years ago when in my 20’s I undertook an advanced driving course. I learned how to drive on winding roads, there is a skill and a technique, if you apply it. I also learned to do a 360o turn in a case of danger. I was grateful for the lessons I learned. I know I can trust my God to bring them to the surface when needed.

I learned to ride a push bike when I was around five. I learned on a dirt and gravel road. The learning was painful and I absorbed much gravel into my hands and knees. However, I know how to ride a bike. I have Nepali friends who have never learned and are in their 30’s. I learned to swim as a young child and now am a confident swimmer. My Nepali friends never learned and now struggle to even stay afloat.

I have been a Christian since I was 19. I have learned to walk in faith. I have cherished learning to love the presence of my God. His word is precious to me. I delight in reading His word and enjoy finding Jesus in the text. He looks after my ways and I appreciate His counsel. He is good! Amen!
