Joshua 1:8 ESV
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.
The “you shall meditate on it day and night” sounds a lot like Paul’s “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) both send the same message; that believing in God is a full-time job, not a temporary part time thing. God has got to be a part of our lives every minute of every day. We cannot just act like Christians on Sunday and let it slide the rest of the week. It has to be an all the time thing. God loves us all the time, so shouldn’t we love him all the time and do his will all the time? We should be thinking about God in everything we do, not just because like Joshua says it “you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” But because the God who loves us and has given us all we have deserves it.
Prayer:
Lord, let me always be thinking of you and your way so that I can follow the right paths and do what you need me to do. Amen.
