Meditate On
Blessed is the
man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of
sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of
the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
Psalm 1:1–2
Run With God’s Counsel
In today’s
scripture, we see the psalmist describing the habits of a man that cause him to
be blessed by the Lord. Notice how the blessed man “walks not in the counsel of
the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the
scornful.”
This means that
the blessed man doesn’t depend on the advice of “experts” who are independent
of and don’t honor God. Neither does he follow those who plot the downfall of
others in order to prosper. And he doesn’t participate in cynical coffee shop
talk! The man who does these things then is someone who doesn’t trust the Lord
but fallible man and self. And he doesn’t meditate on God’s ways, but the ways
of the world.
Beloved, don’t
choose this path. Choose instead to trust wholeheartedly in Jesus by meditating
day and night on His Word and His ways. And it will be a matter of time before
you experience His blessings and success in all that you do!
