Would you like to be used by God? Take a look at what set apart some of God’s servants in the Bible, starting with Moses and Joshua who became useful leaders for a brand new nation. In Joshua 1:8, God gave Joshua critical advice for the path ahead: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you[a] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Listen to Steve talk about how you to measure success in your life, and how to get it.
