By this scripture God taught me how to live in Christ and have Christ live in me.
Joshua 1:8 (God says) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
💥 The Holy Spirit reminds us of scripture. That is the scripture we need to focus on day and night, doing that scripture. By doing that scripture, we live in that scripture and we make that scripture a part of us. We live in Christ (the Word) and Christ (the Word) lives in us.

14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
