“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.”
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)

JANUARY 18 - We often embrace the faulty impression that the men and women of God we read about in the Bible were not human like us, and that they didn’t go through the same experiences and emotions we do. How would you like to be the one who replaced Moses, the great prophet and national deliverer, like Joshua did? It is guaranteed that Satan came immediately to notify Joshua how he was going to miserably fail. What Satan did yesterday, he does today. He lies! Joshua was petrified. Satan armed himself with brutally negative thoughts the moment God gave Joshua the assignment.

He probably told Joshua how he could not do what God asked, and questioned why God chose him. These are the same things he tells you and me. God said to Joshua (and He says to us), “My thoughts must be continually in your mouth. You must meditate upon them day and night in order to overcome the lies and the fears that the evil one brings your way.” If we follow this formula of success, we overcome insurmountable odds.

Our mind is actually the power plant of our future, capable of generating blessings and success. Even as a youngster, Jesus’ mind was continuously upon progress, growing in favor with God and man. The thoughts we think today progress into a distinct reality tomorrow. But we must stay long enough under God’s Word to be transformed into the man or woman God called us to be.

Many believers are unaware that they do not have to be held prisoner to the fearful, accusatory, and worrisome thoughts that race through their mind on a daily basis. Since these thoughts sound like their own inner voices, people entertain them and then find themselves tormented by guilt, fear, rejection, anger, and unforgiveness.

But God not only instructs us to choose our thoughts – He tells us exactly what we should think about in order to experience His best for our lives! Through hard experience and extensive study of God’s Word, Dr. Robb Thompson has learned how to replace the devil’s thoughts of fear and failure with God’s higher thoughts of life and victory. Now he passes this vital lesson on to you. So get ready to take control of your thought life. It’s time to renovate your mind with the Word of God!
