I've been hanging around Psalm 1 all summer.
What power in that one little Psalm!
If you are ever wondering what is your destiny in life, that Psalm has the answer.
Your destiny is to be blessed. This is a kind of "blessed" that is for the whole of your life, as you follow the words to this simple Psalm.
But you don't just "arrive" to your God given destiny. There is a road to travel. And on that road you are going to meet people, all kinds of people.
Some of them will assist you and cheer you on. Some will drag you down and want you to hang in the sewer of life with them.
The people you choose to be with is pivotal on this road.
"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.... Verse 1
The friends and associates you hang with can determine which path you choose to walk in life. I don't think this has to be broken down.
We all can think of that one person who started to be around the "wrong crowd" and their life was changed drastically.
Godly counsel is a prerequisite to prosperity. "For by wise counsel you will wage your own war. And in a multitude of counselors there is safety." Proverbs 24:6
He who walks with the wise will be wise.
So you know God has called you to...........something. You may not be "there" yet. You even maybe discouraged by where you are and how slow the process.
Who are you hanging with. Do they celebrate you and your gifts or just tolerate you.
It may seem painful but move away from those who can't appreciate your gifts and talents. Go where you are celebrated. If that means a different set of friends or a different church, go.
Blessed is the man who....
So many blessings for you ahead. Take one step at a time.
