Meditate Day and Night

Clay Thornton · Joshua 1 · May 3, 2026

About This Sermon

A message from Joshua 1 on the practice of biblical meditation. As Joshua steps into the weight of leadership after Moses's death, God's charge is not a strategy or a system but to keep His word on his lips and meditate on it day and night (Joshua 1:8). Drawing on Psalm 1, Psalm 119, Philippians 4:8 and Proverbs 4:23, Clay Thornton shows that meditation is the bridge between knowing what is right and living it out — the mechanism by which God's word treasures itself in the heart, guards against sin, and transforms us into the people God desires. A call to slow down, return to Scripture throughout the day, and let one truth take root and bear fruit.
