THE POWER OF MEDITATING ON GOD’S WORD

 "He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good, and blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord." Proverbs 16:20 (AMP)


God told Joshua, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read and meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful." Joshua 1:8 (AMP)

The Book of the Law was the "instruction manual" or the constitution of Israel. These instructions provided guidance for success under God's direct authority. It was vital for Joshua to study and understand what was written in it. However, God gave Joshua an additional task—He commanded him to meditate on the Word day and night and to obey it.

Today’s verse says: "He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good." Your success is directly tied to how seriously you take God’s Word—meditating on it and obeying it. Since you were created by God, and the entire universe is His creation, you cannot truly understand how to succeed unless you listen to Him.

At certain points in life, you may feel uncertain, unsure of what to do, or have questions with no clear answers. When this happens, your solution is to turn to the Word of God. As you meditate on God’s Word, you gain clarity and insight. This light guides your decisions, helping you do the right thing, which brings blessings and success into your life. Whatever you are going through right now, God has something to say about it, and it is probably good; it is in the Bible, and if you read it, he will guide you to the exact Word you need in your life right now.

Meditating on the Word builds your understanding, and this understanding strengthens your faith. You cannot have faith in something you do not understand. The verse continues: "And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord." Meditating on God’s Word leads to understanding, understanding builds faith, and faith gives you the boldness to receive anything you need from God.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Word. I ask for the grace and strength to meditate on it daily so that I may receive Your goodness in my life. Amen.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
