The Holy Spirit says today consider how much time you are putting into observing what He is saying and doing in your life versus walking in what you believe you know?

It is very easy to fall into a routine of just doing for God because that is what you have been trained to do rather than submitting and yielding to the Holy Spirit to do what He is leading and guiding you to do.

In Joshua.1:1-7 the Lord points out to Joshua all the promises of what will be for Joshua as he takes up the mantle to lead the people after the death of Moses.

They are very impressive, however in verse 8 the Lord points out to Joshua a clear condition on which all the promises will rest which Joshua will need to follow and abide by if he is to experience and enjoy all the blessings the Lord pointed out in verses 1-7 of Joshua.

Today the Holy Spirit wants to show again and bring to your remembrance what your priorities ought to be and how much more attention you need to be putting to the things that matter most rather than the things you believe you need to be doing.

So let’s look at Joshua.1:8 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.

Now the first commandment here is that the book of the law which in our lives today is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes us free from the law of sin and death.Romans.8:2.This law of the Spirit of life not departing from our mouths, not just our thoughts and our reading over daily.

How much of what Jesus is saying are we echoing out with our mouths in our daily lives about who we are in Him day and night. We need to be doing what the redeemed of the Lord do, that is to continually say so Psalm.107:2.

Secondly, following our saying, confession which is a part of meditating anyway which we should be doing day and night because our saying with our mouths is our confession which brings our deliverance or salvation.

It does not matter how much you believe the Lord in your heart if you do not verbalize that belief with a confession you will remain bound. Romans.10:10 says: For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..

This confession with your mouth empowers you to observe what the Lord is saying to you through the Holy Spirit in order for you to carry out His instructions. It is after this process that your way will become prosperous and you will begin to find good success in life. You will observe the path in the Spirit to take not the obvious one in the natural, and believe me there is a huge difference.

We cannot jump the process and expect good success to be our reward. Joshua himself many years before this time was a man of faith and when sent on the mission to spy out the land said let us go up at once and take it.

He had faith that sought to take but lacked the voice of the Lord’s leading (the authorship of God leading) and would end up in a ditch because the Lord never guided so it would not be provided.

If this many years on God is commanding him to meditate on His word till he observes to do, what was he going to do those years before to take the land having not taken the time to meditate and know what the Lord was saying. We need to be wise and not foolish in acting out in presumption on what we think God wants rather than waiting till He tells us what He wants done.

As Moses always said I am not moving till the Lord moves then I will follow Him and we will have triumphant results.

I believe the Holy Spirit wants you positioned in a place where you will have good success because you focus on Him and have His direction and guidance in moving forward. As it says of David and David inquired of the Lord what to do and each time the Lord showed him what to do he had good success.

May you today find grace (supernatural God ability) in the Holy Spirit to give time to meditate on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and observe from the Lord’s perspective what you ought to do.

Then once you have the clarity go forth in the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than your opinion of the situation. Always remember God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and you need to yield to His in order to move forward. Isaiah.55:8 & 9.

May grace be imparted to you today to hold back from premature action. Take time to meditate and observe the moving of the Holy Spirit. As you find the path and course He is leading, guiding you to. Then walk confidently into the triumphant, victorious ventures which will serve as a platform of God results in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
