Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all
(1 Timothy 4:15).
God’s desire for you isn’t just that you make progress and become successful in life, He wants your progress to be obvious to those around you. He wants you to have evident success. The Bible says of Isaac, “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great. For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” (Genesis 26:13-14). Isaac prospered exceedingly in a land that was devastated by a severe famine. His prosperity was so profound it got the attention of the Philistines. That’s the kind of success He’s planned for you; one that’s undeniable.
The reason Isaac recorded such phenomenal progress and prosperity is
shown to us in Scripture: He often took time to meditate (Genesis
24:63). In our opening verse the Apostle Paul said to Timothy, “Meditate
upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may
appear to all.”
This instruction, as well as the ensuing result, is also for you. Meditating on the scriptures will give you evident success in all endeavours: “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” (Joshua 1:8). God doesn’t bless you in a corner; rather, He wants the whole world to see what He’s done for you.
Take out time to meditate on the Word today; that’s the recipe He’s given us for good success and unending prosperity.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me a life of continuous progress and prosperity through the Word. My path in life is as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Thank you for the impact of your Word in my spirit today, and your wisdom that works in me to know and do your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Psalm 1:1-3
Living Bible (TLB)
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men’s advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God. 2 But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow him more closely.
3 They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all they do shall prosper.
