This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8

We like the thought of spiritual prosperity and success, but this promise is linked to our actions: staying in God's Word, meditating (thinking) on it, and observing (applying).
Spiritual growth relies on these three steps: reading our Bible, pondering it, applying it.

I've probably shared this passage before, but Jesus has used it in my life time and time again! Its promises never fail to deepen my trust in Him and Him alone.
ReplyDeleteFret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. (Psalm 37:1-9)
