Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. v.3. He 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 whatsoever he does shall prosper.
Yesterday we looked at meditating the Word and here it is again. David gave it priority because he knew it brought many blessings.
If you look up verse 1 it advises us what not to do if you want to be blessed. It lists three sets of people to avoid spending our time with but then he goes on to tell us what will be a blessing.
If you take a delight in reading and doing the Word of God and meditate on it constantly you will be blessed. God says we'll be continually well watered and not feel dry spiritually, we'll be fruitful people when the time is right, we wont all wither up, and best of all whatever we do will be successful. Now that is really encouraging!
Do you want to be successful in everything you set out to do? Then God says spend more time in My Word and it will unlock secrets, spiritual insights and wisdom you'll probably need down the road.
I can testify to that as in the 1980's the Lord put us in the way of a Faith Ministry which taught us how to learn about walking by faith. Year after year He kept teaching us and then in 2007 I found myself in hospital with a life threatening disease. If we hadn't been taught by the Lord through His Word how to stand against the enemy when the enemy hit us I probably wouldn't be here today but praise God He prepared us in advance and taught us the principles of faith so we could resist the enemy. Standing on the Word has rescued me time and time again and I give God all the glory for it. Has it been easy? No, because scripture tells us it is a Fight of Faith! But we win through Jesus' victory, if we keep standing on the Word, praise God.
So here is the Lord again encouraging us all to get into the Word because it's one of our main weapons to stop the enemy with. Jesus used it three times when He said to the devil "It is written..." How much more must we need it!
I really believe this is very important for each one of us as we don't know what may be coming in these end times and God wants us to be prepared and ready. So can I encourage you to not only spend time in the Word of God but to memorise it, even if it's only one verse a week. And be blessed.😊
