Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Without His word, you will get weak and surely fall. He told Joshua in leading Israel, "This book of the law shall thou meditate therein day and night that thou may 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. Joshua 1:8
There is no other way to have success in your faith in God. I've learned over the years, it all starts with a DISCIPLINE to seek His word each day. Then your DESIRE to read and meditate on it will increase more and more. Then it will become a great DELIGHT to see what He will say to you each day through His Word.
Years ago before marrying my Vonnell, she went to England to stay with her dad for 3 months. We wrote each other every day through snail mail. There was no email back then. I couldn't wait to see what she would write every day. One day, 13 days in a row, there was no letter. I began to doubt and get discouraged, and put into question our relationship. Then one day, 13 letters showed up in the mailbox. Only then was my confidence restored.
