    The document discusses the importance of meditating on God's word as commanded in the Bible. It explains that meditating involves imagining, pondering, muttering, or speaking the words from personal Bible reading. However, Satan will try to discourage meditation through excuses or alternatives. When we neglect the Bible, we lose its guidance and protection. We should pray and ask God to help us focus on His word rather than worldly distractions, following examples like David who loved God's word. Regular Bible study, memorization, and obedience can help us appreciate and benefit from Scripture.

    The Romans 7:21-23,25 Effect

    Meditate on God’s Word. Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:2

    God commands us to meditate upon His Word, but what does it mean to

    meditate? The Hebrew word for meditate is hagah and has to do with imagining,

    pondering, muttering, or speaking. Personally read the Bible. Let God speak to you

    through His Word. Think about what He says; muse over it and live it out. It will come

    out when you speak. Many of us are guilty of breaking this clear command from God – I

    know I am. Why though are many indifferent about their disobedience in this area? When

    we disobey God and neglect to meditate on His Word, we are open prey for Satan to

    attack.

    Our problem is that we have a flesh, and Satan will use it to hinder us from letting

    God work in our lives if we are not on guard. Satan will give you an excuse or

    alternative. You already read It in class. You have other things to do; you are too busy.

    Or he will tell us, You tried already to read the Bible each day and failed. When you

    think about reading, you are reminded of failure, and nobody likes to think about failure.

    Another strategy of Satan is the accessibility of people’s writings about the Bible. If you

    need to know something, you can google it. You do not need to study the Bible itself, that

    will take longer.

    When we neglect the Bible, we are losing the lamp to our feat and the light to our

    path. What can we do to keep God’s Word where it deserves to be in our lives? David

    was a man after God’s own heart. He loved God’s Word and asked God to show him
    wondrous things out of His Law. Read, meditate on, and pray Psalm 119 once a month

    and see if you get a desire for the Word! “. . . . I have rejoiced in the way of [T]hy

    testimonies, as much as in all riches. . . . I will delight myself in thy statutes. . . . My soul

    breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times[Wow!]. . . . Make me

    to understand the way of thy precepts. . . . Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not

    to covetousness. . . . Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity. . . . “ The Almighty

    Infinite God, Creator of the universe, loved us so much that He died for us! Why would

    we not love what he speaks to us finite humans? When we truly love God, we will truly

    love His Word and will meditate on it all the time! God’s Word is powerful Heb. 4:12,

    Psalm 29. With It, He created the world and He gave It to us! We need to pray and ask

    God to keep our focus on the main priority of life, not on the many vain cares of this

    world.

    Love the Bible. Psalm 119:165

    Study to show thyself approved unto God. 2 Tim 2:15

    Memorize Scripture. Psalm 119:9-11

    Do what you hear from God’s Word. James 1:19-22

    Walk after God’s Law and His ways. Psalm 19:9-11

    You cannot be complete without it. 2 Tim. 3:16
