Guaranteed to prosper

Wouldn't I rather greet people with "Prosperous New Year" instead of "Happy New Year"? A Preacher had recently spoken to a friend from Spain, and found that they greet people during the New Year with the Spanish phrase which translates to a greeting of prosperity.  Turns out that this greeting is biblically-based.

What does God say about prosperity?  What is His secret to prosperity?  It is this, a (conditional) guarantee from the Lord Himself...

Joshua 1:8 

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.

Background: The Israelites, led by Joshua, are now getting ready  to enter Canaan.  It had been a looong 40 years of wandering in the dessert as a result of their unbelief.  A battle is looming.  They are commanded to be brave, to meditate on God's law, and to be obedient.   The result, especially IF they meditate, is prosperity and good success.  

Do I want prosperity and good success? Who wouldn't!!  Therefore, I MUST  make the Word of God a priority.  As I read and memorize His Word, I am to meditate on it....which will lead me to do His will (obey Him)...and the end result is prosperity (spiritual and otherwise) and good success in my life. 

For proof, check back in a year.
God willing, you and I will still be here to compare notes.
