Meditation is the act of thinking, reflecting and emptying the mind, in order to concentrate on one thing. It is also the act of contemplation of spiritual matters. When you meditate on the Word of God, you are expressing some desire to allow the Word to work through you.
The bible says in Joshua 1:8, “Do not let this Book of the law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful”. Meditating on God’s Word will give you good success if you do not let it depart from your mouth. Let His Word come alive in your life and you will be amazed at the wonders of God.
Thorough meditation of His Word means to eat it, chew it, digest it and let it sink into your spirit man. Meditate on God’s unfailing love, His works and consider all His mighty deeds. As you do this, success and prosperity will follow you all the time. And the Lord will prove Himself mighty in your life.
If you are going through any trial, meditating on God’s Word and obeying His commands will definitely lift you up. Also meditate on His precepts, all His decrees and wonders. God has got so many promises for you in His Word and meditating on His promises is of paramount importance in your spiritual walk. God will always keep to His promises because He is not a man that He should lie; He is the ALMIGHTY!
You will keep the fire burning in your spirit if you meditate on His Word always. If you delight in the law of the Lord, you will definitely meditate on it day and night. Let your meditation be pleasing to God always and rejoice in Him as you meditate on His Word. Whatever situation you find yourself in, there is a corresponding Word of God you can meditate on. You can use His Word to claim peace and calm in that situation. Once you take hold of God’s Word, you will stop complaining about your situation and you will start enjoying the sweetness of His Word in your heart.
Child of God, be careful to practise this duty of meditation. Do not just talk about His Word in passing, but confess it and invite it to stay in your spirit so that you can fully enjoy it. This will cause your faith to triumph over the most difficult troubles. Your faith will grow tremendously and your doubts will be starved until they disappear.
God’s promises work effectively when you wake with it, walk with it and bind it to your heart. Full meditation will strengthen your faith and dispel any fears that you may have. Always act in faith that God will bring His Word to pass. Meditation fills the heart with heavenly matters and you will experience deliverance from affliction. This will only become a reality when you pray in faith and seek God with all your heart. God will always remember His Word and will bring it to pass. AMEN
