In life, there is good success and bad success. Bad success is the kind of success you get at the expense of your personal well-being, relationships, etc, while good success sees you prosper in every area of your life.
God wants you to enjoy good success and the key is in what God told Joshua when he took over Moses in Joshua 1. Meditating on God’s word continually will give you godly wisdom and prospers your way to give you good success.
At the end of Joshua’s life, the Lord had prospered Joshua and He was so sure of the Lord that he said, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Jos. 24:15) We find that Israel served the Lord, not idols or other Gods (Jos. 24:31) as they were so impacted for God’s glory during Joshua’s time. Finally, when Joshua died, they buried him “within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim”(Jos. 24:30). At the end of his life, Joshua had a whole mountain for an inheritance! He was prosperous and indeed he had good success.
![And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of [e]the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
