Who Am I Getting My Instruction From?

Psalm 1:1 How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! 2 Instead, his delight is in the LORD’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. CSB version

Happy is the man who does not walk, stand, or sit in the path of sinners. These are downward spirals to complacency. When the world feeds our instructions to live by, we die out. When this worlds advise seems good, right, but attractive to us, its only because our standards have lowered below Gods. We judge whether others sins are worse than ours or we can justify our sinful actions. The enemy tempts us to walk with him rather than God. Than as we bite, we get stalled in confusion. Then we sit still and idle in our condemnation the enemy throws at us. I must, as a Christian, continue to walk with the LORD with steady growth. When I find myself in sin, the best cure is to repent and follow the LORDS instructions. I desire to think more upon my LORD who saved me and bought me. I want Him to fill my mind & heart. Its Jesus who takes us from sitting in sin, to standing upon His grace & love. To walking in His word living a fruitful life.
