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. “Psalms 1:1′

This verse illustrates that a person’s blessings come when they choose to follow a path that is righteous. Here, other people have a direct impact on this determination. Throughout this verse, we are warned to stay away from the wrong types of interpersonal relationships.

In today’s world, Christians must lead righteous lives, refusing to be influenced by godless attitudes. This is a warning to all God’s children on how to live a Christian life. Do not follow the counsel of the wicked or you may end up standing in the path of sinners and even sitting in the seat of scoffers! We are shown in just a few words how quickly a believer can leave their first love, lose their heavenly reward, destroy their Christian testimony, and lose fellowship with their Heavenly Father.

In Christ, we have been given a multitude of temporal blessings in this world and eternal blessings in the ages to come. The eternal security is guaranteed. There are blessings today and rewards to come for those who refuse to walk in the counsel of the wicked, who refuse to stand in the way of sinners, and who refuse to sit in the midst of scoffers.

All honor, praise and glory to our almighty, sovereign, reigning Lord of Lord’s, King of King’s, who is to come, to fulfill this world throughout His glorious new kingdom, the new Jerusalem. Amen!

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, please help me to walk in Your way and avoid foolish compromises with the world system. Don’t let the godless mindset of this generation influence my thinking. Keep me focus on You. Let me be like the man planted by Your rivers of grace, love, joy, and peace. Let Your mercy and compassion flow through me to the people around me. Thank you dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. “Numbers 6:24-26‘

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty wonderful, infinite loving, glorious, dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
