Rev. Matt Miller (Joshua 1:1-9) We need every weapon possible to take back territory our Enemy has won. Through the spiritual discipline of meditation, we can see how some of our beliefs, attitudes, and ways of thinking aren’t consistent with God’s Word. In this message, Pastor Matt talks about how Joshua’s meditating on God’s word reminded him that God was with him. This understanding in his mind and heart gave him great success. In the same way, meditation allows us to hear what God is saying and respond in obedience as we face our battles.
