Joshua 1:8 (NLT) Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
(Emphasis Added) Apply my mind to learning and understanding this Book of Instruction continually. Reflect deeply on the revelation day and night so I will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will I be pushed forward by God and flourish and succeed in all I do.
1. Enforce our minds to learn and understand every word God is speaking daily to us.
2. Reflect on the personal revelation day and night. Think about all He is saying and has said.
3. When we put these two steps into action the results will bring forth obedience.
4. And it does not stop at Step 3. As we obey the direction of the Holy Spirit, God will see to it that we prosper (flourish) and succeed in all we do (every area of our lives).
We tend to want to apply the Word of God to our lives all at one time. What God instructs us to do is to take one day at a time. He speaks to us daily and we can hear Him when we sit still and listen. He wants us to enjoy what each day brings. In other words, experience today "in joy". Worrying about 5 years from now is a pretty big load to carry, when today has a load of its own.
When we begin to receive this truth and follow this formula, we will begin to really see this verse unfold. We will live to know what it means to live in His constant Presence. We will live to know what it means to really prosper and succeed, realizing how different the meaning is compared to the world's (society) point of view. We will become more like Jesus and less fleshly.
1. Make God our first priority. How much does He really mean to you? Is He worth your time without limits or is He only worth a quicky?
2. Write down that revelation if you have to. Take it with you. Post it to your desk, dashboard, mirror, locker, or screensaver. Do whatever is necessary so you can reflect on it all day long. Post it to your headboard so you can even remember the revelation before bed. Ask the Holy Spirit to instruct you with every move, He is ready to help us without hesistation. Just be genuine.
3. Include it in your daily communication to the Lord. He loves it when His children speaks His Word back to Him.
This will position us in obedience. God keeps His promises. Follow this principle of truth and we will flourish and succeed in every area of our lives. Every area!
Prayer 4 Today
Father, I come to You right now in the power of Jesus Christ Name! Thank You for giving us the chance to experience Your grace and mercy. Before we go on any further, may You forgive us for any actions that will cause a wall to appear between You and us. We need You, without You we are nothing. Forgive us for refusing to come to the table and feast. We need Your living Word to survive in this realm. May we take heed to Your Truth from this moment forward. We, as Your children choose to experience prosperity and success Your way and not the world's way. Let us embrace each day in joy and not carry the burden of anxiety of the future. You have the plan for us and all You ask is for us to trust and depend on You. We love You Lord! Thank You for inclining Your ears to our request and Holy Spirit may You give us the willingness to sit still so we may respect this relationship and hear what it is the Lord has to share with us individually. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
It's time to come to the table and eat! God Bless!
