Psalm 1 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Although today's message was to slow down and live, I found that the scriptural verses spoke directly to my heart and touched me from within.
I've just heard about a couple of unhappy events that had happened to a Christian friend of mine, and how people around her are doing deeds that are not righteous, hurting her in the process. She's feeling down and naturally, I felt angry and actually had lots of bad thoughts against those people.
Thank God for His message today. It spoke directly to my anger that I should meditate on His words rather than fueling the flame that the devil is trying to instigate. In Psalm 1 I find my peace and assurance, that the things the people are doing to my friend will eventually end, for God is ever-watchful for His sheep.
May Your truth and light shines upon the helpless and dispels the darkness.
