The Devotional - Psalm 1 - A Challenge

The Devotional Psalm 1:1-6 – 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; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law, he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. COMMENT: Prayer and meditation ought to be the character of every child of God, if this is not true of our life before the LORD, we miss many spiritual blessings. Let me say this again, this way! It is true for every man, woman and child who is saved by grace through personal faith in Jesus/...

It is not because the Psalm is not as worthy as the others and it is not because we are not able to find meditation and spiritual insight in the Psalm. Yet, the Psalm takes the back seat in our daily prayer and meditation because many, in days past have used the Psalm to apply false religious worship by separating the Psalm from a personal and daily relationship with our Creator God. Many ...

The Devotional - Meditation - The Word of God

The Devotional Psalm 37:3-4 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and feed on the LORD and His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Please read and meditate on the entire Psalm 37:1-36. COMMENT: Many young people during May and June are graduating from high school, trade school, colleges and universities. Nearly ninety percent of these young people will never use their newly acquired talents to full potential in the remaining years of their life. They will assume “bad luck” and “missed opportunity” the main reasons for this failure. Others will chalk it up to fate, personal failure and other false observations connected to life; the reason... We do not know how to trust in the LORD because we have not heard of or ever called upon Him or sought Him. Many have never seen the inside {pages) of a Holy Bible. (I was past the age of twenty) Therefore, we do not understand that we can “feed” our soul on t...
