Scripture: Psalms 1: 1-4
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law[b] of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Scripture Commentary: Are you a person who walks in God’s path or in Satan’s?
There’s no middle ground. Are you taking counsel in God’s Word by studying and living what you read? The person who walks in God’s path is the person who takes the time to know and live His Word.
God’s wisdom guides you, giving your life meaning. After you study God’s Word, meditate and think about what you have read. Talk to God. He will answer you.
The more you delight yourself in God’s presence, the more fruitful you will be. In contrast, the more you allow those who ridicule God to affect your thoughts, attitudes, and actions, the more you separate yourself from your source of nourishment.
Your true friends will build up your faith in God, not tear it down. The more you study God’s Word, the more you will be closer to Him and He to you.
