Scriptural Keys To Success In Life 2

I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:5

Imagine trying to fill the shoes Moses walked in.
Joshua wondered, "Do I have what it takes?"
Then God told him:
(a) "I will give you every place where you set your foot" (Joshua 1:3 ). God promises success to those who have the faith to take the first step, and keep walking with Him regardless of what they encounter. That means showing up earlier, staying later, and working harder.
(b) "No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life" (Joshua 1:5 ). Expect opposition; certain people will always "stand up against you".
In his book High Maintenance Relationships, Les Parrott identifies the types of people who will do this: Critics who constantly complain or give unwanted advice.
Martyrs who are forever the victim and wracked with self-pity. Wet blankets who are pessimistic and habitually negative. Steamrollers who are blindly insensitive to others. Gossips who spread rumours and leak secrets. Control freaks who are unable to let go and let things be. Back-stabbers who are two-faced. Green-eyed monsters who seethe with envy. Volcanoes who build steam and are always ready to erupt. Sponges who are always needy and never give anything back. Competitors who always keep track of tit-for-tat.
(c) "Be strong… because you will lead these people to inherit the land" (Joshua 1:6 ).

Successful people are not necessarily more gifted, they're just more passionate.
What do you pray about?
Cry about? Dream about?
What are you willing to risk everything for?
That's the well from which you'll draw your strength and your strategies when you experience setbacks, when others disappoint you, when the job feels too big and you feel too small.
