Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
(Psalm 1:1-2 ESV)
Who doesn't want to be blessed? To have true satisfaction and contentment despite trials and troubles in life? To have one's life in order (though not "perfect') To know you are on the right path, even if it is rough at times? It's one thing to know you are not on the wrong path of wickedness, sin, and outright rebellion against God. But to know you are on the right path? That takes having a delightful experience. For a sophisticated young lady, that may mean a tea party with dainty napkins and lots of dressed up friends sharing teacakes. But the word delight here designates a desire that drives you, like a guy going hunting or fishing, or at least finding the best price he can on a car. So how can we be blessed? Have this adventuresome life? Did deep in God's Word. There we will find what we need to know we are on the right path.We can answer questions like "How can I know I have eternal life?" Have a delightful day.
