Beloved, Meditating on the word of God means reading, deeply pondering, whispering, and reviewing Scripture to let it guide our thoughts and actions.

Joshua 1:8 commandsโ€ฆ

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Psalm 1:2 tells usโ€ฆ

“But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.”

Psalm 119:15: “I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.”

Psalm 119:97: “Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.”

Psalm 63:6: “On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.

๏ปฟ๏ปฟIs there a command to obey?
