S - Joshua 1:6, 7 - Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.
O - Joshua's success as a leader was determined by three qualifications 1) God had chosen him 2) that he would be strong and courageous 3) that he would not stray from God's law. Focusing on #3 - God gave his law to Moses. Joshua was mentored by Moses. Moses showed him by example how to follow God. Joshua had everything he needed to lead Israel to the promised land. As long as he did things according to God's Torah (instructions), he was promised success.
A - I must focus on the instructions in God's Word to be successful in my life. It is sometimes easy to stray. Like a parent who looks their child in the eye and gently holds their chin steady, so the Father does to us so our focus will be on Him and walking out this life His way. As long as I do things is way, his blessings will come.
P - Father, may I keep my focus on you, and follow your ways, as I read your Word and walk out this life in the power of your Holy Spirit. In Yeshua's name. Amen.
