Meditate & Obey

Image
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. — Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) In order to have good success we need to meditate in the Word of God and obey what is written in it. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit (See Ephesians 6:17), our weapon against the enemy. In order to use it effectively, let us meditate in it, treasure it in our hearts, that we may not sin against Yahweh. (See Psalms 119:11) Joshua instructed the Israelites: “So be very careful to follow everything Moses wrote in the Book of Instruction. Do not deviate from it, turning either to the right or to the left. Rather, cling tightly to the LORD your God as you have done until now.” (Joshua 23:6, 8 NLT) Let us not deviate from the Holy Scriptures, nor the will of God. No compromise with the world or the devil. Cling to Yahw...

“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.” — 3 John 1:2 (TPT)  May you succeed and prosper in all areas of your life, physically, spiritually, in all of your relationships, in your career, ministry, etc. Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) tells us how: This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. (Psalms 1:2-3 NKJV)

Hear the Word

Then Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” and Shaphan read it before the king. Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes. — 2 Kings 22:11 (NKJV) When king Josiah heard the Word, his heart was tender and he humbled himself before the LORD. (See 2 Kings 22:19) He did right in the sight of the LORD and walked in all the way of his father David, nor did he turn aside to the right or to the left. (2 King 22:2) Before him there was no king like him who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him. (2 Kings 23:25) With all the voices that bombard the airwaves, let us intentionally keep our ears open to hear the Word of God, and listen to what it says. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) says: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Let us treasure the Holy Scriptures in our hearts a...

Good Success

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. — Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) Good success is success gained God’s way. As we do God’s will by following His ways and thinking as He thinks, then we will obtain good success and we will make our way prosperous and fruitful. The only way to follow His ways is to become intimately acquainted with His Word, by meditating on it day and night and treasuring it in your heart. May you experience good success: a life fulfilled!

Are You Attentive?

Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. — Nehemiah 8:3 (NKJV) Do you give attention to the Word of God? For the Word of God is living and powerful, (Hebrews 4:12). God has magnified His word above all His name (Psalm 138:2). Joshua 1:8 tells us to always have the Word on our lips and to meditate in it day and night, to do according to all that is written in it. Then we will make our way prosperous, and have good success. Amen!
