FAITH CAPSULE: Observing and doing the word will experience the action of God.
Joshua 1
Observing the word of God by seeing to do according to what the word said will see God in action.
One meditating on the word of God is with the character observing with heart diligence.
Seek God with your heart diligently!
Obey to observe, observe to see in the word.
The word you observe and see determines what becomes of you.
Proverbs 4:20-21 states, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.”
Do not let the word depart from our eyes.
To see in the word is to keep the word in the heart.
Moses admonished the children of Israel, “But it shall come to pass if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.” (Deuteronomy 28:15)
The Lord also spoke to Joshua to meditate on His word day and night when He stated, “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) When meditation is carefully engaged, understanding its application in every step of life shall become established.
Why not take the time to observe the word of the living God before taking your daily steps on your life journey?
All that is needed to make headway in the daily journey is in the Living word of God.
Meditation is trusting God to instruct and teach us in our daily walk.
A word is not enough to describe what meditation on the word of God is about.
Meditating the word of God is having an open line of communication with God.
Meditation is what keeps the heart diligently seeking God.
Meditation is praying all day long. If it is not a prayer, the psalmist would not have stated, “Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.” (Psalm 64:1)
Meditating the word of God is the source of connecting with an undeniable understanding of the things of God.
Psalm 49:3 buttresses meditation, “My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.”
Meditation is the source of maintaining joy in the Lord. Psalm 1:2 buttresses, “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
Meditate to observe and do according to the word, experiencing the action of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with constant and consistent meditation of the word of God as commanded by God.
