Joshua1:7-8 “Only be strong and very courageous, faithfully doing everything in the teachings that my servant Moses commanded you. Don't turn away from them. Then you will succeed wherever you go. Never stop reciting these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do everything written in them. Only then will you prosper and succeed. GWT
This is very encouraging and quite difficult to process.
First, we frequently quote the first part of this scripture while forgetting the second. again.
Secondly, we remember that God will be with us, but not the directive to do what is written. When you think of this in the light of what Jesus did for us, it is even more challenging. There is no way we could keep every teaching, we NEED Jesus. He is the reason we are able to succeed.
Thirdly, we must remember to never stop reciting the Truth, wherever we go. We must keep them in the front part of our mind. How convicting! I have a LONG way to go before I can fit this directive.
