The Two Paths

Psalm 1:6a

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous.

The blessed ones are those who walk in the footsteps of God as they do not behave or live like an ungodly. They spend a lot of time thinking and focusing on God’s words. They meditate day and night on God’s words. As a result, they have a relationship with God that leads to the ultimate joy. Like a strong tree by the flowing stream of water, they live a beautiful fruitful life. 

The wicked are like chaff. Chaff is a very dry plant. When you pick up a dead and dry leaf then crumple it up, the leaf breaks into many pieces and you can easily blow them away. The wicked are those who choose their own ways rather than God’s ways. When facing problems or challenges, they get easily carried away like the chaff by the wind. 

Make a habit to read the Bible every day. The Lord watches over the way of the righteous. You will stay strong and not easily break down when problems come. 

Prayer

Dear God, I want to delight in Your words. Help me to meditate in Your truth and focus on You. Amen.
