“How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!” Psalm 1:1 - (NASB)
Our promise today is that we are blessed IF we avoid those things that block a blessing from us. We all really want to be happy. Blessed is another word for “Happy” and our verse could read, How HAPPY is the man who avoids the pitfalls of wicked counsel, does not hang around the areas where sinners pass by, and does not congregate with those who scoff. Pretty simple, “Don’t get involved with the wrong crowd where the counsel is not godly and the way is not righteous and those sitting around us are mocking what we believe. These days we encounter those who scoff at people, like us, who speak out about our faith in Jesus. They are scoffers and their scoffing is aimed at our Lord and us for believing and talking about our love of God. In a few verses and three days we will understand the outcome of those who provide wicked council, beat a path to unrighteousness, and make fun of believers in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To scoff at one is scoffing at all persons of the One God we worship.
