Two Ways of Living

By April 8, 2011No Comments

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:3 KJV

Psalm 1 teaches there are two ways to live: the godly and the ungodly. With these two ways of living there are both present and future consequences: the ungodly are scornful, lack stability, and will not stand in the judgment of God; the godly receives their counsel from the Word of God, this enable them to be fruitful today and secure tomorrow. The distinction between these two is in the way they walk, where they stand, and who they sit with. The godly walk in the counsel of God’s Word, they make their stand with God’s people, and they sit with those who respect God’s way. Such an approach to life will be refreshing, fruitful, and prosperous. Why would you choose to live otherwise?

Lord, I am amazed by the choices we often make. The benefits of living our lives Your way seem so obvious and yet, quite often, we try to live both ways. The result is always unsatisfying. Help me to walk, stand, and sit in the way of the godly.
