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!
