Maybe you constantly question yourself or God with the following question:

WHEN WILL IT BE THE TIME FOR MY VICTORY AND CONQUERING WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED ME?

The answer to this question is in the Bible, because there are all God's guidelines for us to have a blessed life and reach God's great promises.

The recommendations that God gave Joshua, which are in chapter 1 of the book with his name, will serve as a very good guide so that you quickly reach the blessings that God has for you.

Contrary to what many people think, God's blessings must be won, through attitudes of faith, which will then revert to God's power so that the blessings are achieved.

God said to Joshua:

1•) Joshua 1:7 Be strong and very courageous...

Being discouraged means not having the motivation to fight or seek something, and that is terrible.

Solomon himself condemned this attitude saying: Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

2•) Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Knowing and obeying God, not deviating from his Word, is fundamental so that you do not make mistakes (sin), because the ignorance of God and the lack of God in the human heart are the reasons for the great evils of humanity.

Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you...

Do not be afraid of what you will have to face, because your hesitation can be an indication of your lack of faith.

If God commanded you to do it, don't question it, go ahead believe in His Word, because the difficulties you will face will actually be a purpose in God's hands and He has all the power in heaven and on earth.

4•) Joshua 1:9 ... for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

God will not abandon you, but he will always help you, IF YOU ARE FAITHFUL.

5•) Joshua 3:5 Joshua told the people, Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.

Consecrate yourself, sanctify yourself so that God's actions are miraculous, because COUNTLESS TIMES IN YOUR LIFE YOU WILL NEED GOD'S MIRACLES.

To sanctify yourself means to separate yourself for God, meditating on the Word, praying, fasting, ceasing to sin in words and attitudes.

As you could see your blessings depend on your faith and your attitudes, so DON'T STOP GOD FROM BLESSING YOU.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
