The Pathway To Success Pt. 7

Zion Church | The Pathway To Success Pt. 7 | Senior Pastor Keith Battle

Summary

In this message, we look at Joshua 1 and discover that God’s pathway to success starts with His Word—speaking it, meditating on it, and living it. But before Joshua could move forward, he had to face something we all experience: real loss. God told him, “Moses is dead… now arise and go,” not to dismiss his grief but to keep him from getting stuck in it. What we’ve lost doesn’t cancel what God planned. There’s a time to mourn and a time to move, and wisdom is knowing which season you’re in.

We also address a barrier many overlook: neglecting rest and health. Scripture calls rest holy, Jesus practiced it, and ignoring it leads to blurred judgment and burnout. Some of us call it hustle when it’s actually anxiety in disguise. God provides even in our sleep, and He invites us into rhythms that restore clarity, strength, and peace. If you’re weary, grieving, or pushing past your limits, this teaching will help you breathe again—and step boldly into what God still has for you.
