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 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.
9 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.”

As we navigate life’s journey, the command to meditate on His Word day and night resonates deeply. It serves as a compass, steering us away from distractions and ensuring our success in His divine plan. Reflecting on this verse prompts us to consider the profound impact of aligning our lives with the teachings of the Lord. Just as Joshua faced challenges with God by his side, we too can find strength and courage in our daily walk of faith.
