1611 King James Bible |
Verse 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
~You just have to respect this advice: This is Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, and he's passing on Godly counsel to his Son. This is also our Heavenly Father, speaking directly to you and I. Treat the bible's wisdom like it is an all healing medicine. It is a serum and an antidote for the poisons of this world.
- Don't take advice or direction from ungodly people.
- Don't hang out with sinners.
- Don't spend time with those who scorn others, either.
Verse 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
~ We are talking about a man who is blessed. Here is what he DOES: He delights in God's WORD (law) day and night. The blessed man purposes to spend time in the WORD all throughout the day, every day.
This actually ties in with verse one: You WILL be judged by the company you keep. GOD is the WORD, so if you meditate in the law day and night you are literally spending the entire day with GOD.
Seriously, can you imagine hanging out with Jesus all day.? And at the end of the day (your life), you and Jesus go to heaven. You just walk right in because of WHO you are hanging out with and spending time with. So friends: I submit that the following statement is VERY TRUE: You WILL be judged by the company you keep.
Delight in the Lord. Ask HIM to give you a hunger and a thirst for His WORD and He WILL. That is my prayer for myself, for my precious family, and all who read this post today.
May God Bless you and Keep you. In Jesus' Name I pray: AMEN.
Tomorrow we will discuss one of my favorite verses... Psalm 1:3
