Psalm 1

The Bible give us clear direction and instruction for our lives. I love to read Psalm 1:1-6,

“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. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 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. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”

Now let’s make it personal. I will put my name in for my personal application and you insert yours in the same places, “Greg Manuel is a blessed man because he does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But Greg Manuel’s delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Greg Manuel is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever Greg Manuel does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”

Make this your personal affirmation today.
