Don't just sit there... Lift your hands and praise the Lord.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.- Psalm 40:2


     On Christ the Solid Rock I stand... all other ground... is sinking sand! 

Join with Clay and me coming into 2014 as we study the Bible together. I have a funny Bible plan but I have been doing it for years and it works for me! I start out reading Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, and Revelation... then I read forwards and backwards from each one and sometimes I even just start a new book of the Bible the goal is to finish the entire Bible each year. Work the plan that works for you... or join in with me and try my method to see if it helps you in your reading... I am not going to officially begin my yearly reading until January 1st but in the meantime I am going to read from Psalms until January so join in and feed your spirit and grow in your faith with the Lord Jesus Christ. To keep you in the know I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour when I was 5 and Clay accepted Jesus when he was a child as well. Both of us are born again Christians.. 
Now onto today's Bible study...

Psalm 1:1

Psalm 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 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.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 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.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

   Psalm 1:1.... Who are you hanging around? What are you listening to? Who is influencing you? 
 
-- walking in the counsel of the ungodly.. Where are you heading? ... who is giving you the "INFLUENCES" in your life.. do you think according to the BIBLE.. or yourself? Remember the Bible says the heart is deceitful... are you lining up your life with the Bible? 

Wnere are you heading? STOP RIGHT THERE.. and build your life upon the most glorious WORD OF GOD. 

YOU WILL BE BLESSED NOW if you line up your life with the Bible.... This verse is talking about how to be blessed in life!

So we we see this guy.. walking now he is standing.. 

   It is a heart thing... Now he's in agreement.. stopping to ponder... making himself one of them.. taking a stand so to speak... this guy isn't  blessed at all! It could be a person standing with the people who have questionable  business practices, a girlfriend who is gossiping and hateful and living a lifestyle you are tempted by, it could be adultery in the heart... secrets of the heart.. etc.. 

"nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful"

n.

1.

a. Contempt or disdain felt toward a person or object considered despicable or unworthy.

b. The expression of such an attitude in behavior or speech; derision.

2. One spoken of or treated with contempt.

Don't make me throw up over here.. don't even say that you make fun of God, listen to those people that make fun of God and Jesus and are getting sucked into those who are daily scorning, making jokes, and poking fun at God, on TV , in conversation etc.. Remember God is not mocked... 

So people continue on the path.. they walk, then stand,,, and then find themselves seated.... involved in behavior not becoming to a child of God.. Now we are talking about the blessed man here.. so anyone behaving as these will NOT BE BLESSED.... we are the blessed... we FLEE such behavior and do the OPPOSITE...  so if you got "sucked in " just repent and walk in the opposite direction...
