Blessed

Psalms 1

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;
² But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
³ 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.

⁴ The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶ For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Do you wonder why things are just not working out for you?  Have you become discouraged, daunted, and stagnated in your journey through our world?  Well it is because were trying to do everything our way, instead of God’s way.  God has predestined for us a lives that are to be filled with joy, love, peace, and wealth as we walk each day with Him.  We are not to interact with ungodly people, no matter how enticing they may be. 

1 Corinthians 15: 33-34 “Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.’  Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God.  I speak this to your shame.”  God asks us to give up our worldly lives, to find our ordained life.  He says, whoever is ashamed of Him, He will also be ashamed of them, meaning our missions will not turn out as we hoped and planned.  He says, He is the vine and we are His branches, and without Him we can do nothing.  God is a God of justice and righteousness.  He says, if we say we fellowship with Him, but are not standing as He commands, we lie to ourselves and others.  The only way our bibles can come to life is if we meditate on His word, delight ourselves in His promises and encourage ourselves to pick up our crosses and launch out in faith.  God states, He has released us among snakes, scorpions, and vipers.  So if we are not trained in our word, we will not know how to love them nor interact with them, to move forward in our journey.  We don’t determine our seasons for harvest, God does.  He says, our steps have been ordered by the Lord, so how can a man know his way.  We walk in blindness each day unaware of what attack we may encounter.  However, if trained in the word of God we can know how to embrace the attack through love to receive our blessing.  Brothers and sisters are perishing today by lack of knowledge, mind, body and spirit.  Come to the throne of God all who are tired and dismayed and be blessed.

Blessings to all as we become blessed in God’s knowledge,
