I will get close to God through meditation

Joshua 1:8 – Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

It’s no secret that reading the Word of God is a vital part of a Christian’s Walk. But the Bible doesn’t just tell us to simply read the Word, it tells us to meditate on it … day and night!

The word ‘meditate’ means to focus one's mind, or to think deeply about something. Unfortunately, many Christians will read the Word and walk away with the satisfaction they have done so. But ask them an hour later what they read and it’s almost a guarantee they would have forgotten, making their whole Bible reading time a ‘tick in the box’.

There are two big reasons why God has instructed us to meditate on His Word. 1) He wants us to know Him intimately. 2) He wants us to succeed and prosper!

The Bible says all scripture is inspired by God and teaches us what is right and wrong, therefore, when we meditate, we’re essentially ‘listening’ to God give us insight about life, while getting to know Him at the same time. Meditation opens the door for the Holy Spirit to come in and deliver amazing revelations. This not only increases spiritual wisdom but makes His voice more recognisable! Meditation also brings about success, because when we meditate on scripture, we are essentially absorbing His wisdom and intelligence. And with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we become more confident in faith to make the right moves in life!

When you feed on the Word today, make sure you take the time to deeply chew over it too!

Prayer: God, thank You for Your Word and the wisdom it brings. I ask when I meditate on Your Word that You speak to me through it and reveal amazing revelations. Thank You that through meditation I will not only get to know You more intimately, but I will prosper and succeed in life too! In Jesus name, Amen.
