Meditating God's Word

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.”

In this day and age it is very imperative to have a grasp on Gods Word. There is so much going on in the world we need to truly meditate his Word day and night. Many of us claim to be doing so, but when we take a personal inside look at our lives it’s hard to believe that we even own a Bible. The days of just reading scriptures, smiling, and saying “that’s nice” are over. Let’s begin to activate the Word and make it produce fruit in our natural and spiritual lives. When you meditate His Word day and night your transforming your thinking, the Word is soaking into your sub-conscious so it will work for you like a natural reflex every time you need it.

I remember there was a time when I had trouble sleeping at night. I got in the Word and meditated Proverbs 3:24

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

After meditating that scripture I never had a sleeping problem since.

Right now there’s a strong spirit of fear sweeping the earth like a plague because of the current state of the global economy. I know I have nothing to worry about because:

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

My place of employment has experienced a significant reduction in staff, but I was never afraid of being laid off because in:

Psalm 91:7
“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee”

Psalm 37:18-19
“The Lord knoweth the days of the upright and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”

There were quite a few layoffs at my job, including half of my department but not me even though I was the last one hired. The Word will work for you every time and in any situation no matter what it may look like.

Even if I would have been one of the ones who were laid off, that would not have changed my perception of the Word because:

Philippians 4:19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

People it’s time to start putting His Word to work in your lives.

I pray that this has blessed you.
