“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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

Ecclesiastes 9:11 GNB I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone.

Joshua 1:1-51 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to

Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get

ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.

3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor

forsake you.

Joshua 1:6-86 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to

inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my

servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Deuteronomy 34:9 Joshua (son of Nun) was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; so the people of Israel obeyed him and followed the commandments the Lord had given to Moses.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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.”

To meditate simply means: - to reflect, ponder, think deeply on the same

thing over and over again, - visualize it and, - let the meaning of it sink deep down into

your heart.

Joh 3:19 This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil

John 3:20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
