The Godly Life

Psalm 1:1–3   1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. 3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.Their leaves never wither,and they prosper in all they do.   In the first three verses of Psalm 1, the psalmist describes the one who chooses to live a righteous life, the one who consciously resists the subtle inroads of compromise.

Ephesians 5:17 “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” _____________________________________________________________ When a friend asked what I thought God’s will might be for him regarding a certain situation in his life, I recalled a Bible verse that applied to his issue. He immediately clung to that verse and I thought to myself what a profound act of faith he was displaying. He was in a situation and rather than panic, he turned to seek God’s guidance and direction for an answer. I was both delighted and comforted with him as together we read the …
