FAITH CAPSULE: Meditating day and night is in complete obedience to God’s word.  

Joshua 1, Psalm 1

Worship is obeying God by doing His will. Doing what suits us is coming out of worship; it is disengaging the ways of God by engaging the way that seems right to us. Proverbs 14:12 buttresses, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Being wise is continuously engaging worship by walking in the ways of God which gives life. Giving self onto God’s way is giving God all the attention. God is a jealous God (Deuteronomy 4:24) and the antidote for jealously is to give attention by doing as he pleases. Attend to God by worshipping Him.
Worshipping God is to be conscious in keeping heart with all diligence. The word of God demands that we keep our heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23). A heart that meditates day and night is a heart in worship day and night. Heart that meditates day and night is in complete obedience to God word. Hearts which are kept with all diligence becomes pure. It is an understanding in the word that the pure at heart shall see God. (Matthew 5:8) A heart which is deep in worship will become pure enough to access the presence of God and be able to realize all that it takes to live life abundantly as promised by Jesus.
It is how diligent we keep our heart that determines the level of our purity and purity is what determines the level of anointing which flows in one’s life. Among the ways of keeping our heart diligently as stated in Ephesians 5:8-21, “…be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.” Whatever fills one is the evidence of what flows from the heart. Man’s filling is what effectively affect how he walks, stands and sits. The Psalmist buttress by stating, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in the law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2) Jesus also states, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8) Meditation keeps the heart diligent and makes it to be pure to see God. Engage your heart in worship, be able to see God and be blessed.
