My child, I’m asking you to take a stand for truth. I’m asking you to be strong and courageous and be careful to do according to all I tell you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

Joshua 1: 6-9
