Verse:
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. – Psalm 1:1
Daily Devotion:
Today’s verse talks about how we’re blessed when we don’t walk in step with the wicked. It can be easy to read over that verse and not really think about it. But let’s take a look at it a little bit. A person is blessed when he or she doesn’t walk in step with the wicked.
What does it mean to walk in step with someone? Maybe it could mean that you’re going in the same direction or on the same path as them. It could mean that if everyone on your football team at school is bullying a student, that you join in too, simply to avoid looking strange for not doing that.
We are blessed when we choose to stand up for what’s right and say no to things that are wrong. And while it’s not easy to do that, God always sees to it that we’re blessed when we do. You can be blessed simply by not having to go through the tough things that those who choose to go against God do.
You’re blessed as you follow after God and follow after what the Bible says. It brings peace and contentment into your life like nothing else can. Even though it isn’t always popular, following after God really does bring blessing. As you do things God’s way, love Him and follow after Him it makes life easier and keeps you from some of the heartbreak that the world brings.
So today, choose to follow after God. Choose to make Him first in your life. Even when it seems like everyone is going on a different path, choose to follow God. In the end, you’ll be at peace as you follow after Him.
