obedience

and discipline.

doesnt come easy.
or easily.

learning about it is one thing, and doing it is another.

joshua 1-4

God reminded me, he'd give me victory every where i march into battle

in other words, i have to be fighting, toiling, sweating, possibly even bleeding,
but knowing that at the end of the day, the victory is mine.

seems a far cry from my present position.


on a similar note,
God told joshua, be strong and courageous

mostly i thought of it as, "don't fear"


but then i saw it was, BE STRONG.
the fear was the "courageous" part.
be strong.
thats like saying, get off your butts.
work at it.
don't be ninnies.
then, note that, you also shouldnt fear, cos i'll be with you.

God showed me that if he wanted us to do something, he'd always see us through.

somethings you kinda knew all along
and then you KNOW them.

ah,
God, help me to live a life worthy of your calling.
