The Four Steps of Living, in Joshua 1 verse 8

Hello everyone,

Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe 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.” This verse explains how to live according to God’s plans, which is my focus here today.

Under the new covenant, the Law is replaced with the Word of God in line with the finished works of Jesus. Now, the verse starts with the confession of the Word. Yes, it may take a while to properly believe what is being confessed, but just keep on confessing the true Word of God, which would lead to the second step of the verse.

The second step is that we should meditate on what we confess, day and night. As we meditate on what we confess, we then believe and understand what we confess, which would make it effective. By doing this it leads us to the third step.

The third step is that by the consistent meditation of the Word and confession helps to shape our thought pattern to fall in line with God’s plan for us, which is how we are able to observe to do according to what is written in the Word. And this leads to the fourth and final step.

The last and final step is that once our mindset is shaped in line with what God’s plans are for us, we make our ways prosperous and end up in good success.

In my next write-up, I’ll give examples of how these four steps of Joshua 1:8 are used, and how it affects our daily lives.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
