    Psalms 1:2
    But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.

    I have met very nice believers who spend a lot of time reading their Bibles, but still have negative mental attitudes about everything. The reason that their mental attitude is not right is because they are only reading the Bible religiously and they are not meditating upon the Word.

    The Bible stresses the importance of meditation in God's Word.

    Psalms 1:2[AMP] states:

    .......But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.

    Meditation on the Word is literally "digesting God's Word in your mind." And as you digest the Word, it will drop down into your heart (spirit) and lodge there.

    What you do with your mind is important. Let's not leave the mind out. It plays a very important part in victorious Christian living.

    "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober. and hope to the end for the grace that is brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:13

    The "loins" of the mind is the region of strength and creative power. The word gird implies "Get ready to do something that may be difficult or demand strength."

    When Peter said, "Gird up the loins of your mind," he was saying that when you are experiencing a problem, that is the moment you need to gird up the loins of your mind. You are not only to draw from the faith in your heart, but you must also begin to develop a right mental attitude about the problem.

    However, when you gird up the loins of your mind, you are preparing yourself mentally for anything that may come against you.

    The faith in your heart will then put you over and bring victory (1 John 5:1-4). You will think positively about the situation you are about to encounter.

    Your thinking will be derived from what you have found in God's Word.

    Through mediating in God's,You are well equipped, both mentally and spiritually, for anything and everything.

    It's a resoundingly blessed day for you.

    Remember, WePrevail by His Word!
