Passage: 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.
Questions
1. What is the point of this verse?
2. What can we learn from it?
Practical help
One of the basic differences between Christianity and Asian religions is
that the former stresses doctrine while the latter emphasizes method.
Christians believe creeds; Asian faiths favor a make-your-own-way approach.
Christians pray, but Asian religions follow eightfold paths and other
numbered plans for enlightenment.
Still, Asian religions are onto something, and Joshua knew what it was:
meditation. He connects the practice of mulling over God's Word with
righteous behavior. Why not give meditation a try and see if it helps curb
your desire for Web porn?
Meditation isn't New Age. It's a new tool for fighting smut. Correction:
Make that an old tool for fighting smut.
