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!
