Reading: Ephesians 1 and Joshua 1-3
Scripture: Joshua 1:8, This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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.
Observation: One of the teachings I just listened to was talking about this verse so it just popped out at me again. For a long time when the Bible used the term meditate I was confused and though about the mind clearing meditation that a new aged friend did.
Application: In the teaching they shared that meditation back then was pondering and muttering, so in essence God was telling Joshua and us to always speak God’s word, and also to continually think on and speak the word of God. In always speaking God’s word and thinking on them you are going to be continually speaking his love and promises into your life and that is when you become prosperous and have good success
Prayer: Father we thank you for your blessings in our life and ask your help to impress your word on our hearts and to long to meditate on them daily. We so often just want to watch tv or get on the internet and we are not thinking on your word. Help us to crave and long to dive into your word at all times. Also lift up those who are coming to home groups help them to have an open heart for your word and love.
