Be a Doer of the Word

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

If you want to walk in divine health, as God desires, you are to be a doer of the Word. For one thing, that means meditating on God’s healing promises. As you do, you’ll find His Word getting so big on the inside that you start acting like a healthy person!

God told Joshua the results he could expect for being diligent in His Word. “For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.” Did you notice that it doesn’t say, “For then God will make your way prosperous”? No, it says, “For you will make your way prosperous.” I’ve also heard it put this way—"Then you will deal wisely in all the affairs of life.”

God has made health and success available in every area of your life. Now He says, “I give you the wisdom and ability to deal wisely in all the affairs of life. But it’s your choice whether or not you become a doer of My Word and actually receive what I’ve given you.”

CONFESSION:

I have planted God’s Word in my heart, and that Word is life to me and health to all my flesh. Because I meditate on God's Word, I deal wisely in all the affairs of my life.
