Have meditated on this and was thinking on it today! Now it gives some guidance in that the blessed, yet the fortunate and prosperous man is the one who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.
Now it goes on to say that we are not to follow the advice of the ungodly, not stand submissive to the ungodly's way of thinking and doing. We are told that standing in the paths of sinners we are not to be submissive to them or nor inactive.........that is we should just be raising the Word of God.
Was working on a teaching for this week and was reading in 3 John 3 and it states: For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in truth.
Now that walk of faith is active, always steadfast enduring to the end. And it appears as faithfulness to the Gospel. It does not appear faithful to nonsense but does appear as light to guide others out of darkness.
We were those who had to be rehabilitated to the truth of God. We were those who at one time lived in the world, acted as the world........that which leans toward living in pretense, the dishonesty that can strain any relationship.
Just try to have a relationship with someone who has one foot in God's kingdom and one in the world! Walking in the light reveals who we really are. Within that truth we also find the weaknesses present in us. But the Holy Spirit is available! He is available and came to comfort when we received Jesus as Lord of our lives!
In the love of God and His direction, others should know us clearly. That is we imitate God and not the world. We put on our clothes like others, and we treat others like we desire to be treated. It is the Holy Spirit that can keep us from stumbling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. (Jude 24)
If we are "sad sack" then we are far from the joy we should be exhibiting. Stay away from those who consider themselves the "sensual" that is they consider themselves more spiritual than you. They operate out of the world and that has no life in it.
But that which is of God brings light to the weaknesses and helps us see clearly to walk in truth, knowing where obstacles might be hidden and see them either be dissolved before us or see them become that nonexistent thing!
Isaiah 41:11-13 NKJV 11 "Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. 12 You shall seek them and not find them----Those who contended with you, Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing. 13 For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
Again, we must know we have the Holy Spirit today and every day.
In being effective, we must pray. Prayer has power over everything. Although you might find some people who think prayer is a waste of time, still the Bible declares: ""the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)
To reaching people who do not know Jesus, we must pray. And it starts with us; it starts with you and with me. We are to know that fullness of joy in John 16:23-24, to know the peace of God in Philippians 4:6-8, and freedom from anxiety in 1 Peter 5:7.
In prayer, our spiritual reunion in Christ Jesus liberates us to freedom in the Holy Spirit. We ask in His Name the things we desire for our families and for this nation: "that once again it will be one nation under God". We pray believing we receive that our joy is that joy of the Lord that is our strength.
We pray from Philippians 4:6-8 that we be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. That as we cast our day upon Him, He guides us through it. We loose the Holy Spirit into every circumstance and through the love of God we move through without worry or distractions.
In the love of God we will move through each day telling others of the goodness of God, the Son of His love that died in our place and that we live now unto God and to see His glory revealed. If not us, then who, and if not now, then when? For truly people are dying of unthinkable things today: from many strains of the flu, to dying in homelessness, to dying without God in many pressures and forces of the enemy. Yet we have protection dwelling in that secret place and having that hedge of protection we should be willing and without doubt to make a difference to not only pray for others but to tell them of Jesus.
That tree from Psalm 1 surely needs some tending and to the regard of it producing fruit, may it be that which God intended for us to produce for His purpose.
3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
May we mature in the Lord and become all that He destined for us to become. Amen!
