Today's Scriptures from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan are just as vital to KNOW and DO as those we looked at yesterday! Psalm 1: says this in verses 1-3:
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. 2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. 3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
I LOVE how our Father give us very clear choices as to what His will is FOR US! DOING His Word will bring confident assurance that everything else that the Word of God promises to born again believers is OURS for the taking! We MUST be DOERS of these verses OR the sure and certain results will be what we see in verses 4-6!
4 Not so the wicked [those disobedient and living without God are not so]. But they are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked [those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God]. 6 For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [those living outside God’s will] shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought).
Remember, the choice is ALWAYS ours! WE decide if we will obey His Word or not, and WE must live with the consequences of those choices! If you have found that you have been in disobedience, whether from knowingly or unknowingly , then repent, which simply means to change YOUR thinking to agree with God! HIS thinking is found in the Word! AMEN! Here, to encourage you as we begin the very first day of 2017, is Hillsong Worship with "Look To The Son":
Shalom in Him!
