FAITH CAPSULE: Compromising what is not right will contaminate every man’s journey.

Psalm 1

It is written, “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.” (Psalm 1:1)  Man’s walk, stand and sit in the journey of life will determine how man end up in life journey. The step a man takes will determine man’s walk. Wherever man’s foot is planted is where man takes a stand. Also, where man takes a sit will set man up for what man becomes. As a believer, how is your walk? Where are you taking a stand? How do you sit?  Anyone that is godly will avoid to be caught up in taking wrong steps that could cause them not to stand in the Day of Judgment. Have you been dwelling in the congregation of the righteous or in the congregation of the wicked? Whatever is not right is wrong. A believer that consciously ride with what is not right engages compromising with wrong. Compromising what is not right will contaminate every man’s journey.
Where there is life there is hope and it is never too late to begin to reassess your steps, your stand and where you have taken a sit. One thing cannot be hidden from God and that is our hearts. Just as in water where face reflects face so our hearts reveals us to our Lord and savior. (Proverbs 27:19) Man can deceive man but will not be able to deny judgment from taking its place when it is time. Our walk, our stand and where we sit can be straighten and be well before God if meditating in His law will take a prominent position in our hearts. In meditating the law of God, there is grace not to end up wrong in the journey of life. Meditating and not just memorizing the law is not limited to certain time of the day but it should be an ongoing and all day engagement. Until meditating takes the right approach, the ability to observe the law and to do according to the law will not be possible. After the death of Moses, when it was time for Joshua to take over the leadership role, the Lord spoke to Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”(Joshua 1:8) The grace and ability to meditate will no doubt take charge over our walk, where we sit and how we stand. Meditation will navigate the way to having prosperous and a good successful life.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace not to derail from the right path of life.
