Three Main Ingredients

Joshua 1:8 - This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. NKJV.

This verse gives us the three main ingredients to living our lives by faith.

1. Speak God's Word... "This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth" - means that we need to be speaking God's Word at ALL times. We should be very careful what we speak. If it does not line up with God's Word, it probably should not be coming out of our mouth.

2. Meditate on God's Word... "but you shall meditate in it day and night" - means that we need to be reading, studying and getting His Word into our head and heart. This is a very important step because we need to have our hearts full of Jesus, and our minds renewed with God's Word if we are to go on to the third part of living by faith.

3. Do God's Word... " that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it" - means that we need to live our lives according to His Word.

These three basic principles are the standard by which we MUST set the course of our lives, if we are to live and walk by faith. The Bible tells us that we deceive ourselves if we are only hearers of the Word.

James 1:22 - But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. NKJV.

We are called to live our lives according to God's Word, to be doers, not just hearers. Only then are we truly living by faith.
