Encouragement
Psalms 1:1-3
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Here is a wonderful formula suggested by the Psalmist for everyone who desires to “Prosper in all aspects of one’s life”. The do not’s are 3 and the do’s are 2.
If you desire to prosper, the Psalmist says,
1.“Do not walk in the counsel of the wicked”
2.“Do not stand in the way of sinners”
3.“Do not sit in the seat of mockers”
4.“Delight in the law of the Lord”
5.“Meditate upon the law day and night”
This demands a strict discipline in one’s life, not living according to the worldly ways, but pleasing the Lord in one’s thoughts, words and deeds. A person who adheres to the above requirements is an evergreen tree according to the Psalmist, healthy and robust in all seasons. The Psalmist concludes that such a person will prosper in all that he/she does.
There are some who fail in everything they do. Everything they put their hands to turns into a disaster. Some try several jobs, several businesses, but encounter failure and defeat everywhere. Here is a neat formula to change all that. God, not only desires that we remain unspotted by the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life, but also be ones delighting in God’s Word and meditating on it continually. Then, the Bible says, “We will prosper in all that we do”. Hope we can rise up to this challenge.
