FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ MEDITATION ON SUCCESS ~ 11 January 2015
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

MEDITATION ON SUCCESS

"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)

"Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.)

A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business". Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business!

Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, we must first learn the laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded..."To live life fully by doing rather than talking".

Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above. Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

You can tell me about it...I’m boycotting the NFL this year because of all the PC garbage. I haven’t watched 1 minute this year.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening, Sand, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Has Maddi helped get all the holiday decorations rounded up and put away?

Good evening, Kathy, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

No Maddi hasn’t helped get all the holiday decorations rounded up and put away. She just stays out of the way and that’s a big help.

Thanks very much, Kathy - I am slowly improving after four days of Levaquin - three more to go.

I did not go to Choir practice Thursday, accordingly I cannot sing with the Choir tomorrow. Actually, I am nowhere near being able to sing at this juncture.

I will be retiring in about twenty minutes. We're at 12F right now - one of those rare occasions when we're colder than you. :)
