As Christians we have to thank God everyday of our lives, for being wth us everywhere we go. Father we give honour and glory to your Name. We love you our Lord, there is none like you. Amen
Obedience is in fact better than sacrifice, and we must also understand that disobedience to God not only holds us back from our full potential, but also holds back the souls God has set for us to be a light to, we must be courageous, and obedient. Just thinking of that gets me excited for my future in Christ!
Good success is only obtained through obideance to the word of God ,Joshua conquered Jericho by obeying the word of God though he was a mighty man of valour he did not use weapons to conquer Jericho ,for the weapons of our warfar are not carnal but they are mighty to the pulling down of strong holds.
The Lord is definate/assuring in the facilitation 4 th performance of His work. He makes sure we understand that He is working with us, most asuring is that he says he wil neva fail us, what a confidence we should hav in his promises
not depart from your mouth refers to speaking out loud. meditate also refers to speaking quietly out loud over and over. as a cow chews its cud and gets more nourishment so do we by speaking out loud scriptures.
abiding in the word of God is what makes us real disciples of Christ & true children of God who by truth are set free. Therefore let us practise God's word by both speech,thoughts & deeds.
Keeping his word makes us stronger and brings us closer to God, we constantly get renewed as we meditate on it, his promised forever stand....in V9 we r further commanded to stay strong and be not afraid cause his word is our shield and our guide. Glory to God
God is no respector of person. Acts 10:34, what he'll do for Joshua, he'll do for me. I believe where ever my feet treads, I can raise my hands before Heaven & ask God to take the blinders from people's minds. That the Glorious Gospel of Christ should be revealed to them, 2 Corin. 4:4 While God has made wonderful provisions for us, He has blessed this Nation & we
should always remember Israel, support her & pray for her.

That's true because it is written in Joshua 1:8, "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.".......AMEN!!!
Reverence to Gods word should always be on our lips. Our thoughts, actions and words should always be mindful of Gods word of instruction and his promises. His word needs to be a living part of our everyday life. Our first love.

Joshua was a brilliant follower of the Lords word even before he new Moses was the chosen one and his inner strength love and belief in God was awesome! It brings tears to my eyes and praise to my lips to read about he and there is no doubt in my mind that the light of the Lord can not will not be extinguished ah-man as Moses said from everlasting to everlasting Thou art God.
