God spells out for us the way to righteousness, prosperity, and good success through the information in the following scriptures:
Joshua 1:7-9
(Some OT verses are promises of God valid for us today and some scriptures are instructive, warning us about turning from God. But our sacrifice for sins is the blood of Jesus so we do not live by the OT Law of Moses. Instead we have faith in Jesus and live by the commandments of God written in the New Testament Bible.
But we are admonished by the OT says Paul: I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition ... counsel or warning, upon whom the ends of the world are come. )
8 This book of the law (the NT Bible) 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.
9 Have not I commanded thee? (says God) Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

How to "meditate."
The Holy Spirit reminds us of scripture or concepts to show us what to do.
(Here is a practice scripture.)
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Pray: Should I do this thing? Then see if God gives you peace or if HE reminds you of something that causes you to have concern. God can stop us if it would not be the best thing for us to do.

The first thing after prayer is for us to define key words in a dictionary:
Peace:
- assurance from God after prayer (special attention to any scripture brought to mind or to any concept or example)
- freedom from war or disturbance of mind
- freedom from strife; avoidance of strife
- freedom from envy
James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

To know the will of God:
Matthew 11:30 God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light.
(Take time with this, don't rush on to next chapter. Practice. Take a scripture. Look up meaning of key words in dictionary Consider your life. Is there any thing right now that troubles you? that you do not have peace about? Stop. and pray. Wait on God until Holy Spirit brings information from God to you.)
Here is what the Holy Spirit in you will do.
Jesus says:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
John 16:13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
