DAY TWENTY

“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.”

Psalm 1:1,2

COMMENT

Have you ever considered how blessed you are to have God’s word in your possession to read and study every day?  Because of the instruction you receive from the Bible, you are protected from living and behaving like the people in the world.  They either have no interest in God’s word because their spirits are dead because of sin, or they do n’t have a Bible to read.  David, the psalmist, says that the person who meditates on the word day and night doesn’t follow the advice of evil people, nor keep company with those who mock God and live sinful lives.  Living according to the teaching of God’s word will protect you from destroying yourself through wrongdoing.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Take a few moments today to thank God for the treasure you have in your hands.  Thank Him that you can read and understand His word and that He has given you His Holy Spirit to open your mind and lead you into truth.
