Joshua 1:8

A convicting verse today, because I know that there are often times the book of the law is not on my mouth and I am not mediating on the word day and night. It's hard because I can make many many excuses why I am not doing this, but it clearly is talking about the benifits of both of these practices. It will make your ways prosperous and give you success. Now it doesn't say what the success is, however I know the more I am in the word and meditating on it, I know my life is different and my perspective on things that happen to me are completly different. How do you stay grounded in the word?
