CHILD-FRIENDLY GOOD SUCCESS!

Joshua 1:8-9 GNT

Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night, and make sure that you obey everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. [9] Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go."

 

Everyone wants to do well in life, but God shows us what good success really looks like. It’s not just money or being famous. Good success comes from knowing God, obeying Him, and trusting that He is with us.

God told Joshua to think about His Word Day and night. 

That means reading the Bible, remembering it, and letting it guide our choices.

Psalm 1:2–3 says that when we love God’s Word, we become strong like a tree planted by water.

God said, “Don’t let My Word leave your mouth.” 

That means say what God says.

Jesus did this too! When the devil tempted Him, Jesus said, “It is written…” (Matthew 4:4).

Good success comes when we do what God says.

Noah obeyed God and built the ark (Genesis 6:22). 

Abraham obeyed even when he didn’t know where he was going (Hebrews 11:8). 

Peter obeyed Jesus and caught a miracle catch of fish (Luke 5:5).

God told Joshua, “Be strong and courageous… I am with you wherever you go”

Courage doesn’t mean you’re never scared. 

It means you move forward because God is with you.

Joshua obeyed God even when the instructions sounded strange—like marching around Jericho (Joshua 6). But God gave him victory!

What Good Success Looks Like for Kids

- Loving God’s Word 

- Saying what God says 

- Doing what God says 

- Trusting that God is with you 

- Being brave even when things feel new or hard

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        Do I think success is only about money or being popular 

-        How can I read and remember God’s Word more this week 

-        What brave step is God asking me to take

PRAYER: Father, thank You for showing me how to have good success. Help me read Your Word, speak it, and obey it. Make me strong and brave because You are with me everywhere I go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
