“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the
wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day
and night.”
Psalm 1:1-2
Do you suppose when the writer of these verses wrote
them that he was inspired to write them knowing that someday obedience to them
would not be possible?
Well, of course not.
The admonition penned thousands of years ago is just
as relevant today is it was when the ink was still wet.
Are the distractions today different?
Sure
Television, news, advertising, a shrinking globe with its
competing interests bombard every one of us.
But as an individual believer I am blessed when I
follow after and meditate on the word of God.
There are many voices clamoring for our attention.
As the scripture says: don’t walk, don’t stand and don’t
sit in their counsel.
There is but one voice we can confidently trust.
God speaks through His word.
Every verse, every chapter, every book of the Bible
remains relevant to us today!
Sure culture, traditions and customs may change but
through all of these changes do not let go of the firm grasp on His book.
It is life, light, truth, wisdom, correction and so
much more for you.
