So my b-day was last Sunday. I had a great time hanging out with friends and family and actually talking to Maranda the next day. That was really awesome.
Originally, I wanted to ask all my friends for a verse, or a word. But I ended up forgetting to do that. But I guess God didn’t. Someone gave me Psalm 1.
“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. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” Ps 1:1-3
Blessed – happy; to be congratulated; to be envied! Blessed I am if I actively walk away from wicked ways, from dark schemes, from what is done in hidden and secret places, from ungodly counsel. But not JUST that. Blessed I am if I do that AND delight wholeheartedly in His law, and TRULY delight in it so that I ACTUALLY spend time in the Word day and night – all the time, consuming, even in my dreams!
Like a tree I will slowly but steadily grow. I will go through seasons, but I will always be growing up or growing strong. It’s not going to be a one day thing, but that also means that my life (His life in me) will remain. I will surely bring fruit, in His seasons, and the work of my hands will be blessed.
Thank You, Father, for this word. I surely want to follow Your counsel, and not the counsel of the wicked. I want to go deep in your word whatever the cost.
