Meditate on His Promises

“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. - Joshua 1:8, NIVTo meditate means “to think about something over and over.” Worry is meditating. It’s letting the negative play again and again in your mind. Some people have this principle down. They’re professional worriers. The problem is they’re meditating on the wrong things. They’re letting the negative continually play. Why don’t you switch what you’re meditating on? It doesn’t take any more energy to believe in God’s promises than it does to worry about what you can’t control. This one small tweak can make a life-changing difference. Instead of going through the day worried about your future, wondering how you’re going to make it, make this small tweak: “Father, thank You that You have me in the palms of Your hands. Thank You for the promise that the path of the righteous, my path, is getting brighter and brighter. I know that You’re ordering my steps. You say no good thing will you withhold because I walk uprightly.” Now, instead of your thoughts defeating you, draining your energy, and limiting your future, you’re using your thoughts to encourage you, to empower you, to build your faith.Prayer: Father, thank You for Your Word and for the abundance of Your promises. Thank You that Your thoughts have the power to encourage, empower, and build me up in the faith. I declare that I will not allow negative thoughts to play again and again in my mind. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.Send us Fan Mail Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company
