vs 7&8
:->Bible says our war o n earth isn't against flesh or blood.Our enemies should not be other people,word calls us to love other people even our even our enemies. But we are to take every thought captive to Christ. God who is in us is greater than any force in this world. So the reason we can be strong in the Lord is that God who is with us is greater and stronger than any temptation; than any evil force; than any sin or weakness. If God is for us, who can be against us???
B blessed everyone!!

We are not only oblige to read the book of the law night and day but also to meditate on it for us to be careful and to have basis on what we do and with that we will have a good success..

Yes Indeed

This is a great verse for me... the book of the law is the Word. The Word is God... The book of the law is a blueprint for life - study it - study God's will... pray the Word...

TRUE

Our Pastor reminded us in Church that to meditate is not just to sit silently and think on it or to be passive about it but (as translated in hebrew) to actively chew on it speaking aloud to one self, reminding oneself, turning it ove and over in the mind, regurgitating it frequently. It is the same word that applies to the chewing and digesting process of a cow.
