*Unlocking your potential through Meditation*
Meditation in the Word of God is one of the greatest keys to obtaining understanding and truth.
To meditate is to fill your thoughts with the thoughts of God, to be consumed with the things God has said.
When you become consumed with what He has said, it becomes effortless to do the things He said to do.
David said it this way:
_I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation_ (Psalms. 119:99).
_The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple_ (Psalms. 119:130).
Meditation is not intended merely to produce more knowledge, but also to give an understanding of God, of His ways and His Word.
When you begin to meditate the Word of God, you will have illumination and the understanding of how to walk in what God is revealing to you.
Joshua 1:8 is a classic scripture on meditation:
_This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success._
One purpose of meditation is to place you in a position of "doing" God's Word.
Joshua said meditation day and night will cause you to "observe to do" all that is written. You must observe before you can do. You will see into the Word and revelation knowledge will come, enabling you to act according to what you have seen.
True meditation will bring you to the place of responding to God's Word with action. Faith demands action. The results of meditating day and night are wonderful! *Joshua 1:8* says,
_... for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success._
