Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, and 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 a good success.”
The key to God’s promise of success to Joshua was to KEEP MUTTERING the Word of God. The Biblical meaning of mediation is to speak to oneself [Wilson’s Word Studies], to speak out loud, or mutter.
The word to meditate is pictured as a cow chewing its cud. The cow swallows its food then brings it up again, chews it some more and brings it up again until the cow absorbs all the nutrients from the cud. In the same way, we are to “chew” on the Word of God until we absorb the divine energy and life in the Word of God.
It is not enough just to memorize the Word of God. The Word of God has to become a living part of who we are, what we think, and how we act. Picture the Word being part of your success in your life.
Prayer: To keep muttering means “we rested in His anointing and remembered the word of Isaiah which says, “Surely He has borne all my pains.” Lord, You took our pains two thousand years ago. We pray right now that we will experience Your work at Calvary this very moment, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Trust God’s Word today!
