Joshua 1:8

I love today's devotional. Decided to take a break after reading my research journals.

Joshua 1:8
8This 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.

The HS reminded me of a similar verse in Psalms 1

Psalms 1:2-6
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in HIS law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper


Remembering what I read recently from Kenneth E Hagen's book, "The spirit within, the spirit upon"....

Planted by rivers of water, "rivers of water" speaks of the HOly spirit, that dwelleth within us, which is given into and upon us when we are baptized; when we are born again. The Holy spirit within us is the well of water; the Holy spirit UPON us is the rivers of flowing water.

Rivers of water that "brings forth its fruit in its season". Fruits as defined here could be found in Galatians 5:22, 23. That's why we experiences love, joy, peace... all coz of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. And later, these fruits brings forth our gifts (
1 Corinthians 12:7-11)!!!



Felt so much joyful having realised so much... all starting from just Joshua 1:8. Heez... it's fun to meditate on verses, and realising more verses, more revelations coming from those mere sentences.
