The Benefits of Bible Reading
15 The psalmist also observed that the successful man takes delight in reading God’s law “in an undertone day and night.” (Psalm 1:1, 2) Granted, the Bible is not light reading, and in it are “some things hard to understand.” (2 Peter 3:16) But Bible reading need not be drudgery. It is possible to “form a longing for the unadulterated milk” of God’s Word. (1 Peter 2:2) Try reading just a little each day. If there are points that you do not understand, do some research. Afterward, think about what you have read. (Psalm 77:11, 12) If you have trouble concentrating, try reading out loud “in an undertone.” In time, your love of Bible reading is sure to grow.
Following God’s Way Leads to Success
17 The psalmist further describes the successful man as being “like a tree planted by streams of water.” The streams of water may have referred to irrigation ditches that were used to water trees in orchards. (Isaiah 44:4) Daily reading of the Bible is like being attached to such an unfailing source of sustenance and refreshment. (Jeremiah 17:8) You will daily receive the strength you need to bear up under trials and difficulties. Having learned Jehovah’s thinking, you will have the wisdom you need to make wise decisions.

Successful at what? Ultimately as long as you are happy you are successful. working hard, climbing the corp ladder becoming CEO of a major corp making lots of money so that you can buy a several big houses all over the world, a Bentley in your 9 car garage etc etc. may not make you happy.
maybe a factory worker coming home every night to a loving wife and kids that adore you is the successful one. what do you think?

Put God first in your life. Pray daily and TRUST Him even when it seems like things are going against you. Know that all things work together for the good for them that love the Lord.

Put God first in your life. Read your bible. Pay your tithes. And give your love offerings. God blesses those who help others. If you sow a seed in love offerings you will reap the harvest God has in store for you. God wants that we all be successful but we have to show him that we deserve to be.
