Psalm 1
The righteous will prevail

The book of Psalms addresses all the feelings one could experience, challenges we might face and also offers guidance for serving the Lord. Let’s spend some time and discuss these over the next few days or weeks, depending on how the Lord leads us.”

“For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” (vers 1)

Have you reached a point in your life, where you have come to realize that there is a massive void, which you can’t seem to fill and no matter how hard you try to escape the emptiness you experience, in your inner being, while looking for some kind of purpose (in all the wrong places), everything seems to become meaningless and you blame God for your situation?

You have reached a cross road! You can either decide to choose the road that leads to “the assembly of the righteous” or you can continue on this path of destruction and even though you might think that things will get better in the future, they are only bound to get worse.

For if you continue in this path of sin, joining the counsel of the wicked and sitting down with the scoffers, You will end up in a lonely place, separated from God, without any hope and if you think it can’t get any worse than it already is, just speak to people who have gone down that thorny and bushy road and they will quickly give you perspective of what the final destination is like.

Should you choose to take the road less traveled, that leads to salvation and deliverance, and allow God to quench your hunger and thirst, He will fill that void with His grace and loving kindness. You will become like a tree, firmly planted by the water stream, flowing strongly with living water. You will bear fruits of righteousness and prosper in your relationship with the Lord and others.

Thank God that He has given you the opportunity to choose. Thank Him for your free will and use it wisely. Find delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on His word day and night and you will experience a blessed, spirit filled life, which surpasses all worldly knowledge and understanding, beyond that of what you could ever have imagined.

Seek the Lord while He may still be found. Choose His way! Choose the way of life! Choose Christ!
