Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
This verse talks about “good success”. Psalm 1 speaks of being blessed, delighting, being planted, bringing fruit, not withering and prospering. Everyone wants a life like this. For the Christian a life like this begins with our walk with God. We have heard it 100 times… but how can we find a walk with God?
1. Find Your Bible– You may have 3 Bibles but find you one specific Bible to read and study from.
2. Find a Place– Pick a room, a seat or a location to read and pray every day.
3. Find a Time– The Psalmist said morning, evening. Maybe after school, before school, on way to school, before bed or when you wake up.
4. Find a Plan– Use a Bible reading calendar or schedule that works for you.
5. Find Some Helping Tools– A Concordance, Pen, Notebook, highlighter, books, music, notes in church all are helps in walking with God.
6. Find a Way to Eliminate Distractions- Many times People, Phones, TV, Tasks and other things can distract us from our walk.
7. Find Time to Pray– When you read the Bible find time to add Prayer to your devotions.
8. Find Joy in the Relationship– God is not just about the Rules and Religion. He’s about the Relationship. It’s not just about the 3 chapters, it’s about the God who wrote them.
9. Find Goals and Desires– Get something out of what you read. How can you apply what you found in the Bible.
10. Find the Holy Spirit– Meditate. Fellowship with the third part of the Godhead that lives inside of you.
