December 12, 2023 – What Do You Meditate on Each Day?
Psalm 63:3-6
Sermon: 1902 Success God’s Way, Part 2

Pray Over This

“Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.”
Psalm 63:3-6

Ponder This

An illustration of the path to God’s victory is found in this passage, where young David was fleeing from wicked and jealous King Saul who was chasing him for his life. David was wondering whether he would be killed. How could David live victoriously like that? He’d been meditating.

Do you know what a constant habit of mine is? I like to get a verse of Scripture and go to sleep with it. I’ll run it through my mind, chew on it, and soak on it. It’s a wonderful thing to do. Let the last word be His Word and go to sleep thinking about the Word of God. That’s what David did. It was in his mouth because it was in his mind, and because it was in his mouth and in his mind, it was in his manner of life. The Word of God is not given to satisfy your curiosity and to scratch your intellectual itch. It’s given to lead you to obedience that leads to a knowledge of God that leads to victory. The real proof that we believe in the Bible is that we obey it. And when we obey it, God reveals Himself to us in such wonderful ways. You’re saying to God, “I trust You so much that I’m going to obey You in everything You tell me.” And God says, “I’m going to manifest Myself to you.”

• What are some habits that remind you of God’s truth?
• Why is it hard for us to obey God’s Word?
