Meditating The Word
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 Meditate means to muse, talk about, consider, meditate, sigh, sing. Our words have power (the power of life and death are in the tongue), but God‘s Word isn‘t just powerful, it‘s anointed. What if instead of speaking what we think about ourselves, we spoke God‘s Word over ourselves instead as a form of meditation? What if we personalized and prayed scripture as a form of daily meditation? Well, as God told Joshua, I believe that THEN you will make your way prosperous and THEN you shall have good success.

Father God, How we love our father of faith, Abraham, who stepped out in faith, not knowing where you would lead him, at your word. Thank you for the covenant you made with him that allows us to be blessed through him. We know that you always make a way, Father, even when there seems to be no way. Help us to develop and grow our faith, to trust you, and to go where you lead us. Thank you, Father. Amen

Father God, It's tempting, sometimes, to wish we could hear your audible voice... as when you spoke to Job. But this was a once-in-a-lifetime occurence... We are so blessed to have you speak to us every day, whether it be through reading your Word, or through Holy Spirit leading us. We know that anytime we want to hear from you, all we have to do is read scripture, pray, and sit in the stillness and listen. Thank you for your guidance, Father. Thank you for always being there and for hearing us. Amen

Father God, there is no other god like you. All we have to do is take a look around us at the world you have created, and everything in it.

Open our ears so we can hear, and our eyes of understanding of this owner's manual you have given us, so that we can walk in the fullness of your covenant.

Father God, thank you for your Word. Thank you for the example of Job's life and his faithfulness. Oh that we could live a life as outstanding as his, and be eyes to the blind, feet to the lame, father to the needy. Although he was wealthy, his confidence wasn't in his gold or riches, but in you alone, Father. And thank you for the New Covenant based on even better promises. How amazing it is to not have to ever wonder if we are good enough, or make our case before you by reciting our good deeds. Because our righteousness isn't in us or in our good deeds, but in Christ alone. You are so good to us. Thank you Father. Amen.

Father God, we are so thankful for your Word. We know that your Word is alive. We pray for understanding as we read it. Your wisdom cannot be bought, and is more valuable than pure gold. We know that wisdom starts when we submit to you. So Father, we turn to you today. We humble ourselves before you and we seek your truth. We pray for revelation knowledge and the wisdom to know how to apply your Word to our daily lives. Thank you, Father. Amen.

Father God, over and over in scripture, you tell us not to compare ourselves with others. Sometimes that's not easy. Help us to keep our focus on you. We are so thankful, Father, that we have a better covenant based on better promises. And we no longer live under the law, but under grace. We acquaint ourselves with your Word. We lay your words up in our hearts. And we delight ourselves in you. You are our treasure. We declare your Word over our lives, and it is established. Thank you, Father. Amen

Father God, Help us to be good friends and to not judge rashly, but to see people with your eyes. When we see someone who is suffering, give us the words to say, not words of condemnation, but words that will build them up. We know it is your goodness that brings us to repentance. Help us to stay firmly in your way and grow stronger and stronger in you, Father. No matter what the circumstances. No matter what happens around us or to us. I know my Redeemer lives. And I will see you, not as a stranger, but as one who knows you and is known by you. Thank you, Father. Amen.

Meditating The Word
What if instead of speaking what we think about ourselves, we spoke God‘s Word over ourselves? What if we personalized and prayed scripture as a form of daily meditation?
That's the goal of this podcast. No filler, no ads... just God's Word personalized in the form of a daily confession.
