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!
