“This 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 KJV
Isn’t it quite odd that God gives such an instruction to Joshua, who has to conquer with military strength the land promised to the children of Israel? One would imagine that God would get Joshua to be empowered with Samson like strength! Instead God says to study the Word of God continually and to meditate on it day and night so Joshua will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will he prosper and succeed in all he does. Joshua had success indeed! Jesus, Who is the Word of God, was nailed to the Cross only to rise again so that the Word of God would reach to all of us non-Jews. As we study Jesus and meditate on the Cross day and night and do what the Word of God says, we will prosper and have success. Let’s spend our time wisely by doing this so we are a good testimony of Who Jesus is in us! Amen!
