FAITH CAPSULE: What one hears is what such will see, to receive and become of such.
Joshua 1
Jesus said, “He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” (John 8:47)
Ones that hear will see, and what such see is what such shall receive and begin to do (becomes a lifestyle).
God repeatedly points out to Joshua the key to doing His word.
To be able to do the word of God is encased in knowing to observe the word.
The word that one constantly observes is the word that one will do.
God points out that meditating is what Joshua needed to be able to observe and to do according to His word. Joshua 1:8, “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.”
When the word of God did not depart from mouth, head, and heart, the word of God became the language of Joshua.
The word of God is to be constantly chewed morning, day and night.
Can you imagine chewing the word of God that is like fire and hammer as often as required?
It is a blessing to be able to observe and to do according to what the word of God says.
The ability to observe and do will experience the blessing of prosperity and good success.
With the blessings of prosperity and good success comes the peace of God.
As a believer, do you wonder what to meditate on in the voluminous Bible?
Philippians 4:8 identifies an example of what is worthy of meditating, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
The statement above is the report of His goodness.
The goodness of God follows those meditating on the word of God.
Constantly meditate on the word because the word is what all learn in the word of God.
The ability to meditate and observe will no doubt bring forth the peace of God. Philippians 4:9 speaks to all, “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
One taking a position to be hearing and hearing the word of God shall establish meditating on the word of God.
Are you struggling to become one who is doing the word of God?
One doing the word of God becomes living by the word of God.
Living by the word of God is behaving in the word of God.
Meditating the word of God, live by the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask to gain the strength of living by the word of God.
