Meditate on God’s Word
The psalms written mostly by David, over a period of 6 centuries and used as the temple hymnbook, capture the essence of what it means to walk daily with God. The first six psalms form a fitting introduction to the entire Psalter. In them you learn the importance of meditating on God’s Word (Ps 1), acknowledging the Lord as King(Ps 2) and constantly being devoted to prayer in good times & bad (Ps 3-6).
Lord, we’ll Delight in Your Word: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its Fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper (Ps 1:1-3).
Lord, I want to have this kind of
blessed life & this kind of happiness.
So I pray that You Lord will cause
me to recognise the wicked and
refuse to follow their leading.
I pray that I will refuse to join in
with those who mock what is
precious to You. And I pray that
the Scriptures will increasingly
become the controlling influence
in my life. In Jesus’ mighty name.
Father God, more than anything, I want to make You Lord happy. And I want to do and be all that You planned when you created me. It’s Your counsel I want to follow, Your side Lord I want to be on and Your behaviour I want to imitate. Help me Lord to Continually Think of You and Your Word so that I may experience Your joy. Amen.
Lord, give me the desire to read
Your Word and to meditate on it
day and night. Let me eat deeply
from Your Word & make me wise.
Cause me to Delight in Doing Your
will and that’s what I purpose to do.
Most of all, empower me Lord to Do
what it says as well as Transform
me and my circumstance so that
I will bear fruit that lasts. Amen.
