Hello 2025! A new year with a blank canvas for everyone. Sure, you will be receiving those new year plans, and new year resolutions from friends this week. Studies show that many of the new year resolutions will be broken by next month. For believers in Christ- our new year is guaranteed in God’s hands. This post title leads to the power of Joshua 1:8, “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 Samurai were a special class of warriors that arose in the 10th century in Japan. These skillful warriors performed military service until the 19th century. They were highly trained warriors that were adept in using the bow and sword. For every believer that makes the Word of God a top priority for living, each one becomes a skillful warrior adept in completion and thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:17).
This level of Samurai skillfulness does not happen automatically. It takes intentionality to read, study, meditate, and obey the Word of God daily– whether it is convenient or not. In the similar manner of the Samurai warriors, believers in Christ have a mandate to take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17).
