Meditate On
I will meditate
on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.
Psalm 119:15
Heaven Hears, Hell Obeys!
The Bible
records for us that Joshua, in the sight of the Israelites, said, “Sun, stand
still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.” And miraculously, “the
sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their
enemies” (Joshua 10:12–13).
What awesome
authority and power in the mouth of a man! The Bible adds that “there has been
no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a
man; for the Lord fought for Israel” (Joshua 10:14).
Now, why did Joshua’s
words carry so much authority and why did the Lord heed his voice? I believe
that it had something to do with the fact that Joshua meditated on the
Scriptures day and night as instructed by the Lord right at the start of his
leadership (Joshua 1:8).
My friend, power
in your mouth or words comes not by you raising your fist or voice, but by you
meditating regularly on God’s Word. For example, when you meditate often on
God’s promises regarding healing, faith comes alive in your heart, and that
sickness or disease will have to leave when you say, “Get out!”
The more you
meditate on the Lord’s grace and His promises, the more they’ll become real to
you until faith is effortless. Then, like Joshua, when you speak, heaven hears
and hell obeys!
