The Joshua Model: Focusing on Biblical Principles
From the Life Joshua, the Successor of Moses
Those who follow the Joshua Model of meditation muse on the promises and principles of God’s Word to bring them God’s success. 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 (Josh. 1:8). Wow! Joshua chewed on the words given to him by God through Moses and thus he found success. Should we not learn this art of meditation of focusing on biblical principles and bear much fruit?

The Saint Paul Model: Becoming Like Christ
From the Life of Paul the Apostle
Here we find the example of meditating or becoming like Christ from the life of Paul who said, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on earth” (Col. 3:2). Paul taught others to follow his example: “Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8). Perhaps we, like Paul, could become so heavenly minded that we become of earthly good!
