Kenneth Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional for today:
Day and Night
"But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his
law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper" (Psalm 1:2-3).
If you ever want to do anything great in life - if you ever want to amount to anything in life - take time to meditate in the Word of God. Start out with at least ten or fifteen minutes a day, and build up.
For years, I held two services a day while in the traveling ministry. And in earlier years of field ministry, I would teach in the mornings, pray aloud all afternoon, and preach and minister at night. Because I ate only one meal a day during my meetings, I would grow weak expending all this physical energy.
Then the Lord spoke to me. He said, "Don't spend all that time praying and wearing yourself out for the night service. Lie on the bed and meditate." When I began to do that, my spiritual growth was greater than ever before.
Well, that's what God promised: "…for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" (Joshua 1:8). I wanted to prosper and have good success in the ministry. But this works whether you are in the ministry, raise cows, or sell automobiles!
Confession: I take time every day to meditate in God's Word!

AMEN! Meditation of the Word of God puts that Word IN YOU! It is much easier to become a DOER of the Word when we meditate on the Word until the understanding comes! And right along with the understanding comes FAITH (Romans 10:17)! I encourage you to do this on a daily basis! You will never regret putting God's Word as your #1 priority! Here is Hillsong with "Your Word":
Shalom in Him!
