Be strong and courageous

Joshua 1:7-9 NIV

"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 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. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua was chosen by God and was given instructions to be successul in what God chose Him to do.

It is sad to see that people don't understand or believe that-
Success in God is the greatest success we can have in life.

We seek success in life, even pray for success but often fail to follow the seemingly easy instructions from God.

When we do not succeed in things, we blame God.

God told us through Joshua, there are 2 ways to be successful
1) meditate God's Word day and night(devotion)

2) be careful to do everything written in it(application)

God NEVER forgets that we are in need or suffering. He is always with us wherever we go. He is more faithful than we can ever imagine. His faithfulness is eternal. When we obey and apply, we see fruits growing.

Truth

Sometimes truth is difficult for us to comprehend, but we are to understand it but not simplify it! I find this statement an important claim when understanding what truth is. If truth is hard to grasp, we need to wait patiently and study constantly in order to understand instead of changing and twisting it. This is a good reminder and good encouragement for me
