Speak HIS WORD
“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
The Hebrew word translated “meditate” means to “mutter over and over again.” If you want to be fruitful and successful in which the Lord has laid before us, mutter Hid Word day and night. The promises of God will be of no effect if they’re simply written in our journal or underlined in your Bible. They will only take effect when they’re in our mouths.

When we find someone has wronged us at work, we will either say, “I can’t forgive him.” Or we will say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
As the day progresses, we will either say,” I’m grumpy because I’m sick, tired and weak,” or we will say “But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16
As we walk in the front door and are met by our family’s problems, we will either say, “Everything is falling apart,” or we will say,” The Word of God declares “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
As we sort out our monthly finances, we will say “We’re not going to make it.” Or we will say, “The Word declares “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

God tells us we should say – not that we may know, not that we may write, not even that we may pray, but that we may say:
“Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!” Psalm 114:15
