(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.)

It is tied to the word of God:

1. Knowledge of truth is the securing factor, not the knowledge of men.

2. Knowledge of truth must always precede and pave the way for applications

of practice.

3. God is always first to be pleased.

4. Obedience to God’s law does please God.

5. God’s word has application to every life circumstance.

God has a word that fits every need His people have.

God’s word is timeless, that is it is fitting to all generations.

6. A prospered way is tied to the precedents of obedience to God’s word.

(for then …)

7. Success is not measured by men, but by God Himself; it is assured through

obedience to the word of God.

(and then thou shalt have good success.)
