It's not only God's desire that you make progress and move forward in life; He also wants your progress to be evident to everyone around you. In other words, He wants the people around you to see that He's called you to a life of success, victory, and prosperity. Why? It's because He loves to display His glory through His kids. God wants to brag with your life.
But for you to become the success God has called you to be, you've got to meditate on His Word (1 Timothy 4:15). In Joshua 1:8, He says to you, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” The kind of success He's talking about here isn't hidden at all.
It therefore means that you have to become serious about meditating on God's Word; learn to set aside special times every day for meditation. It must be a daily priority for you, for only the Word can make you the success that God wants you to be—a success made by the Word and evident to the world.
