I encourage you to make a decision to meditate on God's Word every day because every moment you spend absorbing it, the more virtue and knowledge you will receive from God.Worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger, and feelings of condemnation-all these are attacks on the mind. You will only get out of the Word what you are willing to put into it. In the flesh, we are lazy and want to receive from God without any effort on our own part, but that's not the way it works. It also says the more we read and listen to the Word, the more revelation we will receive to understand it. This scripture tells us the more time we spend thinking about the Word, the more power and ability we will have to walk in it. The measure you give will be the measure that comes back to you-and more will be given to you who hear. In Mark 4:24 it says, And He said to them, be careful what you are hearing. The devil was controlling my life because he was controlling my thoughts. Much of what was in my head was either lies Satan was telling me or just plain nonsense. If you're a believer, you probably think some Scripture-based thoughts throughout each day, but think about this: Are you mixing them with negative thoughts or just any random thoughts that come into your mind?įor most of my life, I simply thought whatever fell into my head. For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things. Philippians 4:8 alone tells us to think about things that build us up, not tear us down. The Bible presents a lot of detailed instruction on what kinds of things we should think about.
The love of God is meant to be a powerful force in our lives, one that will take us through even the most difficult trials into victory. The Bible says that God loves us, but have you ever struggled to believe this? I have learned that if we never meditate on God's Word, we will never experience the depth of His love for us.
