This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. ~ Joshua 1: 8
And how shall I meditate day and night on this Book, unless the words are hidden in my heart, scratched upon my mind? How shall His words not depart from my mouth unless they have been spoken to my heart over and over again? Unless they have been heard by my ears one more time? And read one more time, again?
Won't you join myself and others in hiding God's word in our hearts? So that we may mediate day and night on His truth and on His promises. So that we may reap what is sown in our hearts. So that we may come to know His word, and more deeply, The Word.
