The Boys Scouts were founded in the early 1900’s and remain one of the few organizations that still embrace an ageless “oath” that embodies the core values they still believe in and live by to this day:
“On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
In a day and age when boys are finding more ways to find more trouble, the Scouts offer their followers a way to stay focused on what they embrace as right. The benefit of being a “Scout” is to know that you are not alone in what you believe and that you can find common ground with other “a-like” believers through the core values and standards set forth by the organization as a whole. God’s word provides the same benefits for those who desire to keep it, as well.
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” (Joshua 1:8/NIV)
Uncomplicated and very straight forward, God’s word gives us a way that leads us to prosperity and success, protection and provision, honor and respect. Following it places us not only in good company but protects us from uncertainty.
Thought to live by: Obedience to follow God’s word is the key to prosperity.
