"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
After the death of Moses, God chose Joshua to lead the people. He gave Joshua instructions and told him that He would be with him as He was with Moses. One of the things He told Joshua was to meditate on The Word of God daily and to follow its teachings. Obeying God's Word would lead him to prosperity and success.
A lot of people want to be prosperous, but they are not willing to do the things that will lead to prosperity. We have the recipe for success, we just need to follow the instructions. If we would read and study The Bible, day and night, and follow the directions given within it, we too would be prosperous and successful.

You Are Also A Leader Of God's People
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law My servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:7-9 (NIV)
After the death of Moses, The Lord said to Joshua, "Moses my servant is dead. Now then ... As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:1-5) Joshua was to lead the people into the promised land. These were the words of encouragement and the directions that The Lord spoke to Joshua. God chose him to lead the people.
If anyone follows you, listens to your advice, and if what you say or do influences anyone, then you are also a leader, and as such you have the responsibility to say and do the right thing, so as not to lead them astray. The best way to do that is to be sure that you follow The Word of God. Read, study, meditate, think about, recite, talk about, and live God's Word, and you will be prosperous, successful, and a good leader because God will be with you wherever you go.
