Train Up A Child (Part 5)

In Part 4 of the Train Up A Child series, we talked about why meditating on the Word is important. Today, let's continue in that vein.

In both Luke 8:15 and James 1:25, the Bible speaks of keeping or continuing in the Word.

Keeping and continuing in the Word is all that meditation is. 

It is repeating the Word over and over again until it plants in the soil of your heart.

Joshua 1:8 instructs us to meditate on the Word of God day and night. To keep the Word always on our lips. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray continually. Psalm 1:1-2 tells us we will be blessed for doing so.

God commands us to meditate on His word, not out of His own selfishness or need to control us. Rather, God commands us to meditate on the Word because He knows it will bring blessings and good fruit in our life (Luke 8:15; James 1:25).

And who wouldn’t want those things in their life?

More to come next week!

God bless,
J.W.
