Are You Word-Focused?
(Practise Meditation On Godβs Word)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Timothy 4:15
βMeditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.β
LETβS TALK
Reid always had it difficult with his studies; his scores came back full of βFβsβ whenever he assessed his work after an exam or test.
βIβve tried everything I know; now I feel like giving up on school altogether because it seems Iβll never succeed at it no matter how hard I try!β he moped.
Nate, a friend of his sitting close by, heard the Holy Spirit say to him, βTalk to Reid about meditation.β
Nate went over and showed him what Joshua 1:8 and 1 Timothy 4:15 say about meditating on Godβs Word. Reid put Godβs Word to work, and it helped him in his studies and his grades improved dramatically.
You may be reading this and wondering, βWhat connection does meditating on Godβs Word possibly have with my academic success?β
The Bible does show where the connection lies; Joshua 1:8 says, βThis Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.β
Meditation is defined as a deep, continuous contemplation of a subject; when you focus your thoughts on any part of Godβs Word concerning you this way, he says itβll empower you and cause you to do what it says, and as you do the Word, youβll make your own way prosperous and have good success (Joshua 1:8), and your progress will be evident to all (1 Timothy 4:15).
So, you see, itβs up to you, really. You can be as successful, prosperous, and victorious as you choose to be. The secret is meditating on the Word of God.

Speak:
I meditate on Godβs Word day and night and make my way prosperous. I have good success in my studies and schoolwork. Iβve got the mind of Christ; my mind is blessed, and I remember all that I read and study, in Jesusβ Name.
