In Joshua chapter one, verses five through nine God visits Joshua as he is assuming the leadership of the children of Israel. As we launch into a new year we can use God's instructions as a guide for our success in a new year.
God makes some awesome promises to Joshua as he assumes the leadership from Moses (image following Moses as a leader). I believe these promises apply to us today as we study and obey God's Word.
First, God promises success. "No one will be able to stand against you" (v 5) and "you will be successful in everything you do" (v 7).
Secondly, God promises support. "I will be with you as I was with Moses" (v 5) and "the LORD your God is with you wherever you go" (v 9).
Thirdly, God promises a system for this to work--"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" (v 8).
If we follow God's system we can expect God's support and God's success.
When can you set a daily time to read, think, and prayer?
