IN YOUR WAY

FAITH CAPSULE: How are you walking, standing, or sitting before God?

Psalm 1, 2

Psalm 1:1 record, “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…” 
How are you walking, standing, or sitting before God that is watching you?
The word of God admonishes all:
Walking:
Walking in the way of righteousness should not be walking in the counsel of the ungodly. 
Ungodly do not accept God but aligns with sinful, with wickedness and not conforming to religious tenets. 
Ungodly will counsel or lead man to live a life that does not consider right doing before God.
Who is your counsel in your journey of life? When a believer begins to receive counsel from ungodly one, walking astray from blessings of God becomes inevitable.
Do not walk in the counsel of ungodly that will direct you outside the path of God. Proverbs 3:6 admonishes, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” 
With the desire to experience the blessing of God, listen to the word of God as a warning. Take your counsel seriously to set you up for the glory of God.
Stand:
Standing in the path of the sinner is taking to the same position as a sinner. When a believer begins to endure or tolerate the act of wicked way of life, it becomes evidence of such to be a believer that is not living right before God.
Standing in the path of righteousness will stand-out, upholding the way of life that glorifies the name of God.
When the heart of man stands in awe of the word of God, gaining the blessing of the way of righteousness becomes the portion of man.
Is your standing found with an association that only progresses the testimony of God? 
Are you taking a stand that depends and rests on God in the face of challenging trouble?
As a believer, the word of God demands to ponder what to stand for in the path of life. It is clear that the ways of man are not hidden before God the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all paths. (Proverbs 5:21)
Sitting:
Sitting in the seat of scornful will eventually embrace the evil way of life. One with faith, with the fear of God, is to hate evil acts not having the seat of evil doing that is hidden from all but not hidden from God. 
A believer that takes a sitting position in the way of righteousness must hate evil. Proverbs states, “…the fear of the Lord is to hate evil…” (Proverbs 8:13) The believer must not compromise the journey of life by sitting on a seat that is not acceptable to God.
The blessings of God are obtainable by your walk, stand, and sit before God, as stated above. 
By the word of God, it is worthy to live life as a true believer that keeps to the way of God at all times. Do not live a life of waste, give yourself to the word of God, and not compromise the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to do His word.
