Today’s Scriptures  

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night...  

Joshua 1:8 KJV

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  

Romans 10:17 KJV

Today’s Thought  

Whatever has your attention will eventually become your meditation. If you keep rehearsing the problem, fear grows. If you keep rehearsing God’s promises, faith grows. Meditation is sustained attention, and what you continually think on will begin to shape what you say, believe, and expect.

God told Joshua to keep the Word in his mouth and meditate on it day and night. Why? Because the Word would shape his courage, direction, and success. The same is true for you. Your circumstances may be loud, but God’s Word must become louder in your heart.

Today’s Confession  

I will give my attention to God’s Word. I will not rehearse fear, failure, or defeat. I will meditate on the promises of God, speak His Word, and allow faith to rise in my heart.
