Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (Joshua 1:8 NLT)
Why should God bless us when we don't care enough to learn and obey thoroughly what He says? The key to the blessed life is to study, meditate (become saturated with) and obey His Word. Until the Scripture so permeates our being that it controls how we think, talk and act, our lives will continue to feel more like a desert than a fruitful and well watered plain.
