Timeless Wisdom

What you focus on, you empower!

Joshua 1:8 KJV

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.

After being rescued from Egyptian slavery and wandering around in the wilderness for 40 years,

the Hebrew people finally stood at the edge of the land God had promised.

Though their long-time leader, Moses, had just died, God appointed Joshua to take his place.

During this transition of authority, God gave Joshua some wise advice:

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips;

meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Joshua 1:8 NIV

Timeless Wisdom

God gave the Law to Israel through Moses.

These instructions reveal God’s intentions, character, and heart.

And even though God was speaking directly to Joshua at that time, His advice holds timeless wisdom for us today…

Reading, listening to, and thinking deeply about God’s story informs and shapes us.

When we meditate on His Word, study its contents, and understand its core message—everything changes. 

The Word-focused people get to walk in peace and victory,

but the devil-focused people seem to move from one battle to another.

Why?

Because what you focus on, you empower.

Even when times are hard, we still have victory in Jesus–and you can still REST in Him.

Let Us Pray

God, You give us Scripture so that we can know You better.

Your Word is not meant to be a list of instructions but a way of life that leads to You.

The more time we spend in the Bible, the more deeply we know Your character and nature.

Thank you for revealing Yourself to us in this way.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
