Meditate on God's Word - Part 1

God has given us the perfect plan to keep us safe, free from harm, prosperous, increasing in growth and bearing much fruit (fruit meaning positive results).  If only we will heed to His plan. 

Psalm 1:1-3 says “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night and he will be like a tree that is firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; and whatever he does, he prospers.”

Let’s break it down:  Blessed means empowered to prosper.  So if you want to be empowered to prosper stay away from the wicked people.  Do not stand with them.  Do not do what they do.  Do not sit with those who mock God.  Stay away from all evil if you want to be a blessed man (person).

Let’s break it down: Delight yourself in the Words of God.  Study God’s Word with joy.  Make it a daily habit to study God’s Word, spend time (quality time).   Meditate on God’s Word day and night.  Think about it during the day.  Think about it during the night.  Say it out lout.  Say it to yourself.  Ponder the Word of God.  When you do this, you are renewing your mind with the Word of God, then it will take root in your spirit man and your faith will grow. 

Let’s break it down:  As a result of spending time in God’s Word, your faith will grow and you become immovable like a tree.  You will know and know that God’s Word is true and that His Word will produce good fruit (results) in your life that will not wither away.  And whatever you do or undertake, you will prosper in.  

You have to have faith in the Word of God and Faith Comes by Hearing – Hearing the Word of God.
