Today's Verse: Psalm 1:1-2

Saturday, November 19, 2022

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.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Although the world around us screams all sorts of messages to us, we get to choose which sources of information we feed our minds. This privilege and freedom also come with the responsibility to choose what we hear and obey. As followers of Jesus, choosing to listen to God's truth is not just a choice, but a holy commitment. God longs to bless us with his will, revealed in the Scriptures, and with his moral guidance and definitions of what is holy and acceptable in his law. However, that blessing remains dormant until our hearts delight in knowing and doing his will. Let's find our delight in knowing and doing God's will, like the Son and our Savior, Jesus did throughout his life on earth!

My Prayer...

O Wondrous Creator, just as you fashioned such a beautiful world and put me together tenderly in my mother's womb, I also ask that you create a desire in me to know your truth and have the will to live that truth. I know your Holy Spirit is in me to empower and transform me on this journey. I yearn to please you and bless you for all the ways you have blessed me. I choose to delight in your truth! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
