The secret to good success is found in meditating on God's Word in the light of the new covenant of grace.
The scripture says that in order to have good success and be prosperous that you must keep the law and meditate on it day and night. ?But the truth of the matter is that this was true in the old covenant, not the new covenant. ?However, today people are continually living under the old covenant of the law and not under the new covenant of God's grace. ?We should live and breathe the promises that are spoke in the new covenant, we should not keep focusing on trying to keep the law perfectly because that covenant is dead.
We need to read all scriptures through the eyeglasses or Jesus finished work on the cross. ?Because of Jesus finished work do you know what qualifies us for good success? ?Is it our works, keeping of the law or is it Jesus finished work? ?The answer is obvious!
So what does it mean to meditate? ?The Hebrew word for meditation in the Old Testament is the word hagah, which means to utter or mutter. ?So to hagah is to speak under your breath. ?The key to meditating on God's Word is not mental contemplation. ?It is speaking God's promises with your mouth! ?God told Jesus, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth..." He did not say that it "shall not depart from your mind."
The key to meditating on God's Word is to know the word and then ask for God to use the scripture into a fresh revelation in your life. ?It are His Word's and His revelations in your life that you continually mutter and speak is what meditation is all about.
What about fitness?
If we are talking about fitness then in the Old Covenant you would have to do everything perfectly in order to be perfectly blessed. ?In the New Covenant even if you are not perfect with your fitness you are still blessed. ?It is not about what you do or not do, it is all about what has been done on your behalf!
In the Old Covenant you would get in shape out of obligation but in the New Covenant you do so because you of love and the fact all the pressure is taken off because there is no guilt or condemnation. ?
Fitness and Health is not easy but a continual reminder (meditation) of who are you are in Christ takes off all the pressure and allows you to reign in your health and fitness and build your foundation on the promises of God's Word and revelations and not the accusations of the enemy. ?The enemy wants to remind you of what you lack, the Lord wants to remind you of what you because of what He did for you. ?Meditate on that and you will never lack in your health and fitness again. ?Your success comes from the Finished work, not keeping the law.
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 secret to good success is found in meditating on God's Word in the light of the new covenant of grace.
