FAITH CAPSULE: Your walk, location and what you stand for are defining factors of who you are.

Psalm 1

In life, your walk, where you sit and what you stand for are the defining factors of who you are. Jesus once asked His disciples, saying to them “who do men say that I am” (Mark 8:27) Can you honestly question and answer who you are? It is not that it matters to Jesus who the people say He was or He is today. Jesus is the living word of God made manifest through the pages of the scripture and even in present times to those who walk, sit and stand where God is glorified.
Who are you? Does your life reflect Christ? Are you a bible which people can read? Is the word of God rooted in you? Man can be deceived but God cannot be deceived. It is possible for man to be well decorated before man but naked and empty before God. Forget about your titles, it is how you engage God’s task for you that matters before God.
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) When the word of God declares blessing, it is established in heaven and on earth. A man who walks, sits and stands in accordance with Gods’ standard is blessed just as declared by the word of God. Life is a journey, who you surround yourself with will determine what you get out of life. The word you meditate on in the journey of life will determine whether you get to your expected end or not. Whose word do you believe in? Do you believe the word of God or man? The word of God is a sure counsel that leads man from walking, sitting or standing for the name of God to be glorified. 
When the counsel of God begins to cause delight in the life of man, it becomes evident that the word of God is meaningful to one’s life. Do you delight in the word of God? They who delight in the law of God are those who meditate the word of God day and night. (Psalm 1:2) Meditating on the law (word of God) is the avenue not to walk outside God’s way. The Psalmist identifies the blessing of walking, sitting and standing in line with God stating, “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.” (Psalm 1:3)
Live life for the glory of God by paying attention to how you walk, sit, and stand in His counsel and He shall attend to you to bless you.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace that makes you walk not in the counsel of the ungodly.
