Joshua 1:8-9
Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. I command you--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
God is our Maker, and His Book of the Law, the Bible, is His Manufacturer's Instructions. He wants all of us to know what He has written there, to read it continually, and to think about it day and night, all the time. We are to consider His ways in every choice we make every day, every decision we make in our lives. That's how we will be able to be successful in our lives, and in our relationships with one another.
Then God will be with us to show us the right way to go, even when it is not the World's way. He will enable us to be bold and courageous to buck the tide and do what is right, even in the face of opposition and discouragement. We need to keep on keeping on, to accomplish everything God has planned for each of us to do. He will strengthen us and keep us faithful to Him when we continually soak in His Word every day.
And God will receive all the credit, all the honor and glory, for all the good that will be accomplished toward His own Kingdom rule, in our hearts now and in the World when Jesus returns.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
