FAITH CAPSULE: In the life of a journey, allow the word of God to answer as the track.
Joshua 1
The living word of God is the way, the truth, and the life for all to observe.
Life is a race and calls for engaging the word to race right.
Hebrew 12:1 states, “Therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us”
In the race of life, run and possess the promise of God in the word of His grace.
Joshua received a calling not to miss in the promise of God.
Joshua 1:7 records, “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.”
Going by the word of God is the only track in the race of life not to miss the promise of God.
The word of God demands meditation and will answer as track when being observed continually.
Observing the word of God is investigating the word.
Investigating the word is not questioning but living by the truth in the word.
With no iota of doubt, it is the word of God that one investigates that will navigate one through the race of life.
Joshua 1:8 records, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe 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.” (Joshua 1:8)
The word of God is His law.
The word of God is instruction and His command.
Those who allow their heart to keep the word of God shall have the length of days, long life, and peace. (Proverbs 6)
Those who can keep the word of God are the ones who make God their confidence.
Those who keep the word of God will know to do good when the chance calls to do good.
Those who keep the word of God do not stumble where others stumble. The word of God does not mark one or exempt one not to experience afflictions, but in the word, there is an assured promise for deliverance. (Psalm 34:19)
Above all, those who keep the word in their heart will know not to lean on self-understanding.
Proverbs 6:22 records assured track, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
Life is a journey.
The word of God is to continually engage as the track to gain the promise of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled not to miss the word as a track in the life journey.
