YOU MUST SAY WHAT GOD SAYS!

Joshua, on the edge of a land he’d been promised but hadn’t walked into yet. Every place the sole of your foot treads is yours. No one will be able to stand against you. Be strong and very courageous — which God says three times, because the job was big enough to be frightening. Then the instruction the whole message turns on: this book must not depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night, do what it says, and you’ll prosper and succeed wherever you go. The application is about your own words. Whatever is in your mouth is what your life follows, so put the Bible there instead of doubt — and read it as though it were written to you personally, because it was.
