What Are You Meditating On?

“….and on His law he meditates day and night....Whatever he does prospers.”



We’ve been analyzing (meditating) Psalm 1:2-3 to discover the keys to prosperity. Thus far we’ve identified three keys to
god’s prosperity:
  1. Let the Holy Spirit be the source of the words we speak. Allow blessings not curses to come from our mouths. ...planted by streams of water
  2. Our actions are to be dominated by the fruits of the Spirit. ...which yields its fruit in season
  3. Do not let our thinking to be overcome by fear, worry and anxiety. ...whose leaf does not wither


How can we accomplish these three keys? By meditating of God’s word.



The act of meditating is to think deeply or contemplating. I like to think of it as internalizing. Making it a part of you.



It is not enough just to have a head knowledge of the word, but we must take into our heart. Make it a part of us. Internalize the Word.



We make the Word part of our hearts and internalize it by meditating upon it, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.



Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; 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.



Does this mean we as partakers of the New Covenant are bound to the law? God forbid! Check back for the next installment to this series for an answer to this question.



What aspects of your life would you like to prosper? Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, find those scriptures and meditate on them.



The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the Glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14



But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, whatever he does prospers. Psalm 1:2-3
