MEDITATE FOR SUCCESS FOR 12/1/15
Meditate On
Blessed is the man who walks not in the
counsel of the ungodly…but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His
law he meditates day and night.
Psalm 1:1–2
Walk
In God’s Wisdom
The people of the world are crying out for
true wisdom (that can only come from the Lord). Just look at the constant
demand for self-help books. But what we need is not more “self-help.” What we
need is the Lord’s help! So we should instead read books that are written by
Spirit-filled believers and Christian leaders who encourage you to look to
Jesus for wisdom and not to man or self.
Psalm 1:1 tells us this from the start:
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.” This means
that there is counsel in human wisdom. But the man who does not walk according
to the wisdom of the world is the man who is blessed! At the same time, if his
delight is in Jesus, and he meditates on Jesus day and night, Psalm 1:3 says,
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its
fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does
shall prosper.”
My friend, make a decision to walk in the
counsel of the godly and not in the counsel of the world, and you will see
whatever you do prosper. God has raised up men and women who are established in
the truths of the new covenant, and who will help you to keep your eyes on
Jesus. In Him you will find all the wisdom that pertains to life. The Bible
tells us that in Him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge”
(Colossians 2:2–3), for your success. So keep looking to Jesus. Draw on His
divine wisdom and see the difference it will make to your life!
