FAITH CAPSULE: His testimonies are worthy of mediation.
Psalm 119:1-48
God is the perfect creator. He has been creator since the beginning by using His word. Genesis 1:1-3 testified, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” God created by speaking His word. Definitely, the creation of God by the word of God is God’s testimony. Without doubt, testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. (Psalm 19:7) In keeping by meditating the testimonies of God there is blessing, rejoicing, riches, counseling and it keeps man from shame.
Are you constantly meditating on His testimonies? The Psalmist confessed testimonies in Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies…” Psalm 119:14, I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, As much as in all riches.” Psalm 119: 24, “Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” Psalm 119:46, I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.” The testimonies of God are all the things that He has done, things He is doing, and the evidence of what He can do. His testimonies are worthy of mediation.
In the journey of life, keeping the testimonies of God is getting to the expected end. The Israelites could not keep to the testimonies of God’s promise. The Israelites could not meditate on the testimony of God as a vessel to the Promise Land. The Israelites’ repeated complaint denied generations from stepping on the Promised Land. God responded in Numbers 14:22-23, “Because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.” God promised to take them to the Promised Land. He showed them great and mighty signs in Egypt, and on their way out of Egypt. The signs and wonders of God are His testimonies. Are you constantly meditating on His testimonies?
Meditating on His testimonies will provoke faith in the journey to your God given’s promise. Hebrew 11:6 buttressed the exploits of meditating testimonies of God, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Meditate on the testimonies of God; Please God and your journey shall be pleasant.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be keeping the testimony of His word.
