« This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, 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 good success »
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
3He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
As we continue today with the study on how to grow your faith, we will be focusing on memorizing and meditating on the word of God.
Let us consider David. He was a shepherd boy who was not even invited when his brothers were summoned into the army, yet he dared to dream big enough to fight and defeat a giant the entire Israeli military was scared of (1 Samuel 17).
One of the major secrets of David’s success lies in this statement he made in Psalm 119:11NLT
« I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you »
- This was another way of him saying, “I memorize the word of God”.
No wonder he is recognized today as one of the greatest kings Israel has ever had.
A child once asked me, “How is it that you know the Bible so much?”
My response was,
“Because I memorize it”.
When I got born again, I started memorizing just one verse per week.
In the Sunday School pamphlet, there is a memory verse for the week.
One memory verse a week means 52 memory verses in a year.
Since I have been born again since 1973, do the calculation and you will have an idea of how many memory verses I have stored up in my heart.
Just one little effort every week and as year rolls after year, you would have memorized so many Scriptures and your faith would have grown greatly.
- You must also meditate on the word of God.
By meditating, you are turning it over on every side.
Just like a cow would eat grass and then go and lay down in a corner to regurgitate and chew it little by little, you need to go over the word that you have memorized in tiny bits again and again, so as to keep getting deeper revelations that would foster or boost faith.
This will in turn bring good success.
Psalm 1:1-3 says to be blessed, you must meditate on the word day and night .
You see, the word of God is God Himself (John 1:1), so when you meditate on it, you are actually exploring God Himself.
Memorize and meditate on the word of God daily and your faith will grow exponentially.
Application – Memorize and mediate on God’s word daily.
