The Lord Knows the Way of the Righteous.
Key Verses: Psalm 1:1-2 & 6
When I was a teenager, I remember thinking that Christians and non-Christians were so much alike, that one really couldn't tell the difference. Everyone dressed conservatively, you didn't hear the kids swear and life seemed to go on pretty smoothly.
I realize that I was very naive but, although evil existed in our society at alarming rates, it was still pretty much "under the table." Today, however, we live in the I'm OK, you're OK lifestyle, otherwise known as "live and let live."
As Christians, it's easy to get pretty complacent about our Christian lives. So often we do just like the non-Christians do in comparing ourselves to each other instead of comparing ourselves to God, and the pattern of perfection He has established in His Word.
We will never be able to perfectly obey God's Word until we join Him in Heaven, but we should be continually striving toward that end.
Keeping that in mind, just look at what the Bible says about the Christian in Psalm 1...
The Godly man doesn't listen to the counsel of the non-Christians around us especially regarding who we are and where we came from, we don't walk in their lifestyles, and we don't sit around and talk about people behind their back.
It's not easy, is it? We know God is everywhere, but so often we live each day as though He's off visiting in another planet or something. The Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Pray that God will help us today to take Jesus everywhere we go. Oh, I know He's already there -- but, put your hand in His, and think about Him being right there beside you all day.
God Bless You.
