Meditateâ€”percolate (3)

â€˜You shall meditate on it day and night.' Joshua 1:8 NASB

Bible meditation has fallen out of favour. Why? Because we live in an instantaneous society, and a preoccupied society. We have so much stuff coming at us from TV, mobile phones, email, texts, snail mail, satellite links, cable news feeds, and podcasts that we hardly have a moment to reactâ€”much less reflect.

Get real! You can't download spiritual maturity by hitting a few keys on a computer. That's why the Scriptures speak so often about meditation. God, the author of the Bible, gave Joshua the formula for succeeding in your career and prospering in whatever you put your hand to: â€˜Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; 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.' (Joshua 1:8 NIV)

To succeed in life, you must do something. Do what? Meditate in God's Word! How often? Day and night. So, what portion of Scripture were you thinking about this morning as you started your day? Or while driving to and from work? For that matter, when was the last time you consciously reflected on any Bible truth or principle? If you can't remember, start making some changes right away. Paul told Timothy: â€˜Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.' (1 Timothy 4:15 NKJV) And that's still the rule!

SoulFood: Isa 26-29 Luke 2:1-7 Ps 46 Pro 1:32-33

EX-CHAMPION?

Although it is an unpleasant experience to be a defeated contender, becoming an ex-champion is a much more grievous experience. When you are not yet a champion, only a few people pay attention to you. But by the time you become a champion, you will be on the radar of many people, including your enemies. A champion has...More
