Meditation and obedience

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

The commandment and promise to Joshua are for all of God's people.

Here is the commandment:  meditate on God's Word.

Here is the frequency of meditation: day and night.

Here is the result of meditation: obedience to God’s Word.

Here is the promise to those who obey: good success.

Meditation must be followed by application. When there is meditation on God's Word in the heart, hands are engaged in God's work, feet are walking in God's ways.
