Today, meditation has made its way to mainstream culture, be it through yoga, breathing exercises, company retreats etc designed  de-clutter the mind

But many of the things they muse upon, have no life, the word of God is greater than 'happy thoughts'

It's living, powerful, sharper than any 2 edged sword, in fact a certain translation of the verse, says 'the word of God is  Living thing' to brood upon the god's word is Christian culture,only therein do we lay-hold on the creative divine power that we share with God.

In fact centuries ago, a certain young man was troubled about filling up the shoes of the legendary prophet Moses, He was too rule Israel, a nation who was still smarting from the death of the man they called the deliverer, How would Joshua rule, guide, and invoke the power of God when necessary? God sits him down and says

Joshua, Do not be dismayed This book of the law should not depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night,observe to do all that is written therein, you will make your way prosperous.

Well Joshua did meditate and he won battles and wars back to back, divided rivers twice and commanded the solar system  to stand still. God's word is life, in our hearts and mouth its power.

even to this day, even to this very day!
