FAITH CAPSULE: It is not possible to truly meditate the word and not be able to fully observe the word of God.  

Joshua 1, Philippians 4

Meditating on the word of God can be compared to circulation of blood in the body system. Any believer, who wants to live a victorious life; who wants to carry the presence of God day and night must constantly meditate on the word of God day and night. It is impossible for a believer to do according to the word of God without meditating as commanded by God. After the death of Moses, God’s commissioning of Joshua could not be completed without God highlighting to Joshua the importance of meditation. God repeatedly pointed out to Joshua the need to be able to observe His word. God told Joshua that meditating His word is what Joshua needed in order to be able to observe and 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.” It is not possible to truly meditate the word and not be able to fully observe the word of God.
Are you one that is memorizing the word instead of meditating the word of god? Memorizing will not help the ability to observe and it is not what God is asking from us. The ability to be able to observe and do what is written in the pages of Bible will bring the blessing of prosperity and good success. With the blessings of prosperity and good success comes the peace of God which knows no sorrow.
As a believer, do you wonder what exactly to meditate on in the pages of Bible? The book of Philippians 4:8 identifies what to meditate on for those who are willing to engage the blessings of good success, “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 word of God is good and it covers all the pages of the Bible. The works of God which surrounds us also testifies to God’s good word of creation.  It is worthy to constantly meditate on the word of God which we learn from the pages of the Bible. Meditate without ceasing and gain the peace of God just as it is written in Philippians 4:9, “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
 

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to meditate more on His word and on every of His good testimonies.
