Grace for your spirit November 9, 2012

Grace for your spirit
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 all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.  Joshua 1:8

Most everyone wants to be prosperous and successful.  It would be nice if we could just set back and let the blessing flow over us, but it doesn't work that way.  Joshua advised the people that the wisdom and knowledge paving the road to success was found in God's book.  We can chart the success and failures of God's people by their attention to the book of law.  In the reign of King Josiah, they found the lost book of law, and no one could figure out what it was.  When it was identified, it led them to repentance. Is righteousness and success escaping us?  Let's find our map to victory in God's word, and put it to good use day and night.
