“The Word works when we work the Word.”
8This book of the law 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.
Joshua 1:8
Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.”
Joshua 1:8 (Message Translation)
Joshua 1 takes place after the death of Moses. God was speaking to Joshua (Moses’ assistant) and encouraging him to finish what Moses had started and lead the children of Israel out of the wilderness. God encouraged Joshua that the way to victory was to keep his eyes on the scripture. We must do the same. Meditating on the Word of God will keep your spirit strong and you mind renewed to the will of God for your life.
