FAITH CAPSULE: Gain understanding of three doings which are certain to be blessed by God.
Psalm 1
Three doings that are certain to position man for the blessing of God are: Walk of man; Sitting position of man; Standing location of man. Identified three doings of man will demonstrate the faith of man as a believer of God. In life, walk of man will directly affect where or position man is found sitting and what a man is located to be standing for. The three doings of man will testify one’s believe in the living word of God. As an acclaimed true believer, where one is walking to and coming from must reflect the presence of God. As an acclaimed true believer of God, where or who one is sitting with must be an evidence of the fear of God. Also, as an acclaimed true believer, one must be standing for all that is right as commanded in the word of God. Truly, counsel in the word of God is crucial not to be positioned outside of God but to be positioned for the blessing of God. The word of God is perfect to perform the promise of God as 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) Mark it, when a believer begins to seek counsel from an unbeliever it is an indication that something is not right with such believer.
The only way to redirect one’s walk before God is to continuously engage in the word of God by meditating the word of God.
The word admonished that there is delight in the law when meditating the word of God is in place in one’s life journey day and night. (Psalm 1:2) Life is a journey, who you surround yourself with will determine what you get out of life. One’s journey of life with meditating on the word of God is the determinant to deliver expected end of journey. 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 one’s walking, sitting or standing for the glory of God. When the counsel of God (meditate the word of God day and night) begins to cause delight in the life of man, it becomes evident that the word of God is meaningful to one’s life.
Meditating on the word of God is the right track not to walk, sit or stand outside of God’s way. Think of it: Man is like a vehicle and meditating on the word of God day and night can be compared to a steering. Without steering, stagnation is certain and transportation becomes terminated. Definitely, where there is no transportation transformation is set to cease. Be encouraged to be certainly blessed by walking, sitting and standing in the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to constantly walk, in line of God’s word.
