Speaking, Thinking, Acting.

Joshua 1:8
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.


All this week, we've seen God's instructions on how to become a successful leader who is able to tackle the impossible tasks successfully. God didn't tell Joshua, "If only you were Moses, you could do it." Instead, he worked with Joshua and provided the strength that was necessary.

God didn't advise Joshua to follow a human model for leadership, but he did say to follow his own voice. In today's reading, God told Joshua that he could find success by incorporating the Book of the Law into his heart and mind. Be involved in God's law. Live it out!

If you haven't already, ensure that the Bible is the primary source of the words, thoughts, and actions that stem from you. Think about God's Word morning and night so that you're ready for all circumstances.

May we all start speaking, thinking, and acting on your Word, Oh God.
