Here we see how much of importance the word of God is and how our life needs to revolve around it.
in this verse we can see some key points "meditate in it day and night" and "observe to do according to all that is written in it". When taking time to read the bible we cannot be in a hurry, meditating in the word of God requires time, it is when we forget about
everything and we focus on what God wants to tell us through His word. When we simply read it we might even say, "oh what a nice passage!, (or verse)" but it will merely be superficial, there is something that nice passage is trying to tell us so lets meditate and make a prayer before so that God can give us the discernment to understand His word.
The other is "observe to do according to all that is written in it" In this other key point is to observe, we must always observe ourselves if we are applying and obeying the word of God, if we are simply being filled with information or if we are living the word of God. You see that these are things that we have to do. God told Joshua this before he had to cross the Jordan river and only after doing this God told him, " For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success" If you pay attention to this line God told Joshua, "you will... and then you will..." He did not say I will. You see that making his way prosperous and having good success was a consequence of what Joshua would do.
You too my friend will make your way prosperous and have good success if you start making the promises of God alive in your life by understanding what God wants from you, and obeying!
