Meditating on God’s Word will give you insights and wisdom to guide you at every crossroad in life “Come and listen to my counsel.  I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise” (Proverbs 1:23). There is supernatural wisdom that comes from meditating on Scripture allowing it to sink down deep into your mind and heart. It will strengthen you and guide you. Meditating on Scripture will also help you fill your mind with the things of God. We need to pray and obey God’s leading when He speaks to us. Obedience is not to be an occasional event for us; it is to be our lifestyle. The Bible urges God’s people to fix their thoughts on what is true, good, and right and to think about those things that are lovely and uplifting (see Philippians 4:4-9). Sometimes we obey God in the big issues, but we aren’t aware that obedience in the little things makes a difference in His plan for our lives. The Bible says plainly that if we are not faithful in the little things, we will never be made rulers over much (see Luke 19:17). There’s a big difference between people who are willing to obey God daily and those who are willing to obey only to get out of trouble. God certainly shows people how to get out of trouble, but He has abundant blessings for those who decide to live wholeheartedly for Him and for those who make obedience to Him their lifestyle.
