Good Morning Friends,
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the
counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of
mockers. But his delight is in the law
of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of
water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows
away. Therefore the wicked will not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the
righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” (Psalm 1:1-6)
The question is: who do you listen to. Who has influence in your life? Do you listen to the world and its advice,
allowing it to influence your thoughts, attitudes and actions? OR Is
the primary influence in your life the Word of God -- God’s direction for you?
One way leads to judgment and distress. The other leads to spiritual prosperity and
blessings.
So, then, why is it that we don’t study and
meditate on the Word of God more? Why is
that we don’t seek its advice more frequently and follow it more fully? It may not be a as glitzy as the way the
world dresses up its advice, but its end is more fruitful!
God has given His Word to us for our
benefit. It is ours to use and to be blessed
through. What a marvelous gift! Let’s not ignore it.
His, by grace,
Steve
