Psalms 1
¶ How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
¶ The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
So have you ever really thought about who you are listening to for information?? TV News, Radio, Internet, Facebook, Tweeter ……..
Have you ever considered listening to the Holy Spirit????
Or have you ever thought of reading the bible to see where you fit in to it and the way we have been told we should live for Christ.
Have you ever thought of all the money the Lord has allowed you to have and how you have wasted it on things that have nothing to do with taking care of the widow and orphans, or feeding that hungry family who are truly in need???
Or do you think of that new car you want to buy, or those new cloths you just have to have, or that $400.00 shotgun, I’m sure that the new and latest gadget is going to bring a lot of people to the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus, just as I am sure that new rag you purchase will bring comfort to the woman who just lost her Husband and those kids who got bet up aging will fell so much better knowing you have a new car.
We as a people have become so self-centered and at the same time gullible we will listen to any one say anything that tickles our ears and when society gets on a tangent the church fallows right along.
Take your life, it lines up on one side or the other either you are spending time with the world and learning and living out its deception or you are sending your time with the Lord.
How is your tree holding up??
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
And prospering is not referring to getting a lot of stuff and things it is referring to a deeper life in Christ
