What keeps our heart guarded ? Meditating on His word

"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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 

After the death of Moses, Joshua was faced with a lot of unfamiliarity. Moses was no more... And God tells him , "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses". Wow ! Can you imagine that ?

Every been in a situation/circumstance where the familiar is all gone , but you know the promises of God , but yet you are scared, anxious, overwhelmed or just feel frozen and unable to move forward ?

Verse 5 , " No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you."

Now get this... "No man shall be able to stand before you".. which means that as he would keep moving forward nothing would be able to stand against him for God is with him and He will never forsake or leave him.  If God is with us , who can be against us .So picture this with me... You see a wall infront of you.. Now, if you keep standing still and just keep staring at it nothing is going to happen.. But if you move forward knowing God is with you , nothing can stand against you. MOVE FORWARD WITH HIM.

I encourage you to read the entire passage from verses 1 -9 

Now the question comes , Lord how do I move forward ? How do I know I will keep moving forward ?

Verses 6-8 "Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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"

Meditate on His word ! Let your heart and mind be guarded with HIs word ! The more we are full of Him , the less of space there is within us to be filled with doubt or anything not of Him ! So start eating His word and drinking from the living water !

And may you never forget His promises. Verse 9 , "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”"
