Blessed
is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor
standeth in the way of sinners,
nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But
his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and
in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And
he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-3 KJV
Blessed is the man, or woman, who delights
in the Lord—and follows His commands. Such wise advice. I certainly do delight
in the Lord—He makes me happy to just think or whisper His name…Jesus. Do you
find joy in the Lord?
How are you doing with reading through the
Bible this year? I started off great and was right on schedule for weeks—even
ahead of schedule a few days. Then a week or so ago I fell behind—until I found
myself a whole seven days behind. Where did those days go? I caught up now and was glad when I saw that today’s
reading included Psalm 1—one of my favorite Bible passages. I think it is a
favorite because other than the Lord’s Prayer, Psalm 23 and a few other
selected verses over the years in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, this
was the first book I really memorized. It is only a few verses and I was in a
Confirmation Class that memorized it together so it was one that for which I
was accountable to several people. Accountability makes things happen. Are you
accountable to anyone for reading your Bible daily or for scripture
memorization?
Prayer
~ Lord God, I have hidden Your word in my heart so that I might not sin against
You, Psalm 119:11. May all that I think, do and say be pleasing to You—for You
are a delight to my soul.
Daily
Bible Reading: Psalms 1-2, 15, 22-24, 47, 68
Friday’s
Feast at the King’s Table
As usual every Friday is Feast Day—Feasting at the King’s Table. We can’t
live on just spiritual food …nor can we live on bread alone. We’ve got to have
some meat, veggies and fruit. What food gives you fuel? I’ve discovered that
sugar is poison to my body and starches, like pasta and potatoes, are not my
friends. I can exist very well on some fruit, veggies and a nice lean portion
of meat—nothing deep fried. What would Jesus eat? Probably some hummus with
unleavened bread, some figs—in season of course—or some raisins or dates, and
some fish—if a little boy with fish left over from his lunch happens to be
nearby.
