David said, “How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth, your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalms 119-105) King Solomon said, “The word of God is life to those who find them and it will heal your flesh.” (Proverbs 4:22) “Thy words were found and I ate them, and thy words became to be a joy and the delight of my heart; for I am called by thy name Oh Lord, God of hosts.”
The Lord said to Joshua, this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. Then you shall make your way prosperous and you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8) One day I thought, I would finally be successful, That I would be healed, have peace and be filled with the of joy of the Lord.
I was saved; Jesus took all my sins to the cross, and cleared the path way to eternal life, yet I did not know God had provided the blessing of Eden that we could prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers. (III John3:2) The Lord said to Joshua, you will have good success and I needed some of that good success. Years ago I started to read and study the Word of God. It has become the governing factor of my life. The word of God is what I think about and the reason I live. God’s Word is the sustaining force of every believer. The desire of my heart is to be like the Psalmist David who said, “O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. You through your commandments have made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me." (Ps 119:97-105)
There is marvelous provision to be found in the Word of our God. My prayer for you is that He will make you hungry, so hungry that you will lessen the time in front of the television. Then your down time will become up time as you meditate on His Word and learn to experience His overflowing presence.
