In the first chapter of the book of Joshua, we find four sure guides to help us overcome our obstacles, complete our journey, and enjoy the blessings of the Lord in our “land of promise.”
- the Lord promises Joshua, “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
- the Lord tells Joshua, “Observe to do according to all the law . . . : turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”
- the Lord refers to a “book of the law” and tells Joshua to “meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: . . . and then thou shalt have good success.”
- the children of Israel respond to Joshua, “All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.”
Daily scripture study – especially reading the Book of Mormon – establishes a firm foundation for your developing testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel. It invites the Spirit into your life.
four guides – prayer, obedience to God’s commandments, daily scripture study, and a commitment to follow the living prophet
