THE BIBLE--
LET'S MEDITATE ON IT
A promise in the Scriptures is attached to a project. If you apply this project to your life, you will reach your full potential in whatever you do. If you will practice this project, God will give you success.
I found out about this principle in college. I was extremely busy. I was on the wrestling team, I worked a job, and I was president of my class. Plus, I was involved in other extracurricular activities. My grades were suffering.
I heard about this project and learned that if I made it a priority, my grades would go up. Plus God would bless in every area of my life.
I decided to dedicate one hour each day to this project. Prime time. As a result, God blessed every area of my life, including my grades. I discovered I could concentrate better. My listening skills improved! I didn't need to read my notes over and over again before tests, God blessed!
What was the project? "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" ( Joshua 1:8 ).
Meditation of the Word!
The project:
1. Memorize it. Every word! Quotable! Chapter at a time. Books at a time.
2. Visualize it. Climb inside each verse and properly interpret it. Look up the meaning of each word.
Understand the context, grammar, history, and culture.
3. Apply it. Make it your own. Put your name in the verse. "For God so loved ________, that he gave
his only begotton Son" ( John 3:16 ).
4. Worship with it. Pray it and sing it back to God. Many of the Psalms reflect David's internalizing the
Word, praying it, and singing it back to God.
ASSIGNMENT: Pick a passage of Scripture for your meditation. Set aside time tomorrow to do your project.
