Encouragement

I received this encouragement from one of the momys today and I thought it was too good not to share it:

Psalm 1
1Blessed 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.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And 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.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

As you can see the words in boldfaced above, whatsoever God's people do, if they are meditating on His law they prosper. But we are human and we look at things with human eyes. Thus we must live by faith and not by sight as our forefather Abraham did. "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin" says Romans 14:23. If we don't have the faith we must ask God to give it to us by His grace.

Blessings,

Thank you, Karen! I will be praying over these verses this week. I am praying that as I raise my children I will do it in a righteous manner and it will prosper. May you have a prosperous home, too!
