FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the word of God as a sacrifice.

Numbers 32

The word of God is consistent for deliverance when it is constantly engaged. 
Joshua is evidence of giving self to the word of God, meditating to experience God in His word. 
After Moses, God commanded Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)
The word of God points out to Joshua the importance of meditating on the word as the way for Joshua to be successful in his divine assignment. With constant meditation on the word of God, the life of such shall become one with the spirit of faith.
The life of Joshua testifies to experiencing the presence of God by meditating on the word of God.
Paul, the apostle, also bolstered the importance of engaging the word of God in 1 Timothy 4:15, “Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.” 
It is worth meditating on the word of God.
Meditation is a labor that requires spending day and night giving oneself to the word as a sacrifice. 
Meditation is labor, and labor is a sacrifice. 
A believer that constantly meditates on the word of God day and night shall experience the blessings of meditation.
Meditating on the word of God will make one wholly follow God. 
To wholly follow God is the character of one to be prosperous with success working the works of God. 
To wholly follow is bound to arrive at the promise of God.
Joshua could not fail but arrived at the promise of God. 
Numbers32:11-12 record, “Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because they have not wholly followed Me, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the Lord.’” 
To wholly follow God, the evidence of having a spirit of faith is the testimony of the life of Caleb and Joshua. 
Does it occur to you the importance of constant meditation over the word of God?
Give yourself to the word of God. 
2Timothy 3:16 encourages, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” 
As it was profitable to the men of God in the Bible days, so it is to one with the choice of meditating on the word of God constantly.
Joshua meditates on the word of God.
Paul encourages giving self to meditating on the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the strength of meditating the word of God day and night.
