The word
"success" only appears once in the KJV. Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall
not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for
then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Success is predicated on meditating on and
observing the Scripture. Obedience to
the Word will result in success because it will help you make right choices.
In the NIV,
"success" appears 25 times and is predicated on walking faithfully
with the Lord (Gen. 24:40); and obedience to His Word (1 Chron. 22:13). Furthermore, success is from the Lord (Gen.
24:56, 1 Sam. 18:14, 2 Kings 18:7). God gives
success.
Every worldly success is ultimately from the
Lord. Therefore, all glory must point to
Him.
