There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Joshua 1:5)
I need that encouragement today, coupled with the 'be strong and of good courage' reminders sprinkled through out today's reading. It is highly unlikely that I will have to physically do battle today. Spiritually though, it is a constant battle to corral this vessel (spirit, soul and body) to not give into the flesh.

I can not know what I have not studied. I can not know HIM if I partake lightly of HIS fare. O Father, give unto Thy people a ravenous, unsatiated desire to feast upon Thy Word daily. Meditating upon it, savoring it upon the tongue of our mind, feeling the fresh juice of it penetrate our world weary parched souls. O Lord, help us to seek to suck the very marrow from the Your Holy Word. Give us a desire to be nourished and brought into a deeper and more intimate relationship with Thee.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
