Take Heed to the Voice You Heed

Glory Days
Chapter 3
Joshua 1:7-18

God's command to Joshua was to read the Word of God. The Bible is the most important tool in our spiritual growth. 2 Timothy 3:14-16 tells us the Bible exists to make us "wise for salvation through faith" (v. 15). How do we know the Bible is inspired by God?

1) It is remarkable in composition: It was composed over 16 centuries by 40 authors in three different languages, yet still singular in theme. This shows one mind and one designer.

2) It is remarkable in durability: It is the most published book. It has been translated into 1,200 languages. It has outlived its opponents.

3) It is remarkable in prophecy: There are more than 300 fulfilled prophecies about Christ written at least 400 years before he was born.

Does the Bible make a difference? Only when you let the truth of Scripture be the authority in your life can you know whether it works. Scripture mixed with obedience brings positive results.

Glory days require an ongoing trust in God's Word. Meditate day and night (Joshua 1:8, Colossians
3:16).

1) Begin with prayer
2) Read until a message hits you
3) Meditate on it

Great rewards come to those who do (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3).

God's command was enough for Joshua. He responded with direct obedience.
