| 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!
