LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy
hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the
truth in his heart (Psalm 15:1-2).
If you’re going to walk in the glory of God and have His grace and power
manifested in your life, the Word says you must walk uprightly, work
righteousness, and speak the truth in your heart. Now, what does it mean to
speak the truth in your heart? This is where a lot of people miss it. They
don’t have a problem walking uprightly; they don’t have a problem working
righteousness, that is, doing right, but then they have a problem with
“speaking the truth in their heart.”
Notice that the psalmist didn’t say, “He that... speaketh the truth to
his neighbor”; no! I‘m aware that a few translations render it in a way that
seems to suggest that it should read “speaking the truth to someone else,” but
when you study it from the original Hebrew rendering, you’ll observe it has
nothing to do with talking with somebody else. The Amplified Version renders it
clearly: “He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works
righteousness, And speaks and holds truth in his heart.”
Did you notice that? It’s dealing with speaking and holding the truth in
your heart, and what does that mean? It means meditation: speaking and thinking
the truth in your own heart. That’s meditating on God’s Word. If you’re going
to walk in the glory and anointing of the Spirit; if you’re going to see the
power of God manifested in your spirit and in your life, you have to speak the
Word. You have to give vent and expression to the Word. The Word of God in your
mouth is God talking; it’s a prevailing force that can’t be stopped.
1 Timothy 4:15 says to meditate and give yourself wholly to the Word;
hold the truth of God’s Word in your heart; don’t let it go. Refuse to be
swayed by circumstances, and your success, victory, progress and prosperity
will be inevitably evident, and unstoppable.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your Word is in my heart and in my
mouth. As I meditate and give it voice, I experience progress, promotion,
expansion, and spreading on every side. I’m on an upward and forward journey
only. Your glory, grace, and power are manifested in my life and in all I do,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: 1 Timothy 4:15 NKJV Meditate on these things; give
yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
