Recipe For Success
December 9, 2010

Wrinkled noses and puckered lips—sometimes this is my family’s reaction to my cooking, especially when I’m trying something new in the kitchen. Recently, I had a breakthrough with a unique version of macaroni and cheese. I jotted down the ingredients and tucked the recipe away for future reference. Without that set of instructions, I knew the next batch would be a flop.

Without God’s instructions, Joshua would have failed at leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. The first step was to “be strong and of good courage” (Josh. 1:6). Next, he was to continually meditate on the Book of the Law, and finally, he was to do everything it said. As long as Joshua followed the directions, God promised him “good success” (v.8).

God’s “recipe for success” can work for us too, but His idea of success has little to do with money, popularity, or even good health. In the original Hebrew, “then you will have good success” means “then you will act wisely.” Just as God called Joshua to walk in wisdom, He wants us to “walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise” (Eph. 5:15).

As we take courage in the Lord, feast on His Word, and obey Him, we have a recipe for godly success that’s better than anything we could cook up on our own.

You will surely find at the journey’s end,
Whatever the world may afford,
That things fade away, and success is seen
In the life that has served the Lord. —Anon.

Obedience to God’s Word is the recipe for spiritual success.

Read: Joshua 1:1-9

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night . . . . Then you will have good success. —Joshua 1:8

Bible in a year:
Daniel 11-12; Jude

I was so upset, I wrote ‘senate’, when I meant to post ‘house’. Sorry, JC. (Like Borax Queen said, “My jaw is hurting from clenching my teeth so long over this!”

I know the feeling. We are all liable to get TMJ from clenching our teeth...LOL!

I’m sorry I haven’t had time to be on here much. I am about through with the check writing and the mess has to be cleaned up. Need to go to post office for stamps since I’m almost out. Then I may get to put some ornaments on my tree (if my back lets up.) Are you going to decorate this year?

[jaycee]

This is so beautiful, ladies. I was looking at snow pictures today but I haven’t had time to post yet. I will try to post after while though.

Lovely poem, too.

[jaycee]

Hi Conor, I don’t think I have spoken to you in a few days. Hope you’re doing okay and I know you are dreading that surgery Monday but if all goes well, this time next month you will be so happy about it. Its so remarkable what they can do today! We sure will be thinking about you on Monday with our good wishes and prayers!!

I was so happy to read your update, Amy. I am glad the doctors are being cautious..but I hated that long day for you all.
I know Mr Just will be happy to get these tests behind him..and, God willing, the hernia repaired so he can keep on with his active life.

(((HUGS))) to Marissa..I know she loves Mr Just so much..

Prayers continue.

Keeping you in my prayers for a good outcome with your knee replacement.

Thank you for that Gail. As it's not something I often have, I just keep the sugar free powder on hand. But, if it becomes more often I will try making my own.

Fibro can be a very debilitating thing. I have a friend who is so bad that many days she can't even get out of bed.

Please, take good care of yourself. :)

[oldteen]

Lovely!
