Hi guys,
Umm I'm going to continue this because well I think it's good spiritual discipline. And well, you'll know what I'm reading and you can ask me about it if you want. If you want to post, please contact me. (I will start commenting on all the threads and posts). Blessings.
And I feel like studying Joshua in the Old Testament. =)

Chapter 1:6-9
6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 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. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; 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. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
As you can see, Be Strong and Courageous is repeated multiple times by the Lord. Another item that really jumps out at me is in verse 8, "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it".
For our application question, I'm want to ask if you meditate on the Bible day and night and be careful to do everything written in it? Do you attempt to do it? (will you read Joshua with us?)
Do you feel God asking you to be strong and courageous? In what aspects in your life?

for me, this morning's devo reading (utmost) was about relying on God fully, and what tends to happen when we take our eyes off of Jesus. in this way, God is calling me to be strong and courageous in the responsibilities that He has given me, and also the opportunities.
in terms of meditating...I really like the "do not turn to the left or to the right" part because it gives a clear picture of how scripture should be followed, and the 'plumb line' (ancient device used to measure depth that must be straight in order to be accurate) nature of God's words. I like to have my devos in the morning, so that God may bring the verses/meditation I read later on the day/week to encourage me when I am in the thick of situations/decisions/thoughts.
