FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Giving regard with attention to the word of God is encased in meditating the word of God day and night<\/p>\n

Joshua 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Regard with attention is the way to observe and do the word of God. Without observing the word of God chances to see in the word and obey is almost impossible. \u00a0Man must observe to see in the word. The word you observe and see determines what becomes of you. Proverbs 4:20-21<\/em> stated, \u201cMy son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Certainly, the word is telling us not to let the word depart from our eyes. To see in the word is to keep the word in the heart. Having the understanding to engage word by constantly meditating the word will enable one to observe, see and do as the word commands.
\nThe importance of giving regard with attention to the word of God is encased in meditating the word of God constantly consistently. Joshua\u2019s way of success was in the revelation of word of the Lord as stated, \u201cThis 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.\u201d (Joshua 1:8) <\/em><\/strong>When meditation is carefully engaged as commanded by God it will give meaning and understanding for its application in every step of life. Why not take the time to be meditating the word of God day and night? Meditating but not memorizing will enable to be observing the word of God to undoubtedly see in the word and do exactly as commanded in the word of God. Meditating on the word of God is making headway by the presence of God (presence of word carried) in the daily journey life. Meditation is trusting God to instruct and teach not to be a victim of this wicked world in the daily journey life.
\nMoses emphasizes the importance of meditating the word of as he admonished the children of Israel, \u201cBut it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.\u201d (Deuteronomy 28:15)<\/em> <\/strong>A word is not enough to describe what meditation is about. It can be described as having an open line of communication with God. Meditation is what keep the heart diligent as required in (Proverbs 4:23)
\nMeditation is praying all day long. If meditating is not a prayer, the psalmist would not have stated, \u201cHear my voice, O God, in my meditation; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.\u201d (Psalm 64:1)<\/em><\/strong> Praying day and night when all is well and when challenging is not expected demands constant and consistent meditating prayer.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the grace to be obedient to His direction.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
