Psalms 1:1-2
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.

Jesus said that the thief, the devil, comes only to steal, kill and destroy but that He had come so that we might have abundant and blessed life. {Jn.10:10} The Word of God gives us instructions at every turn as to what we should do, what we need to do, to walk in those blessings. The Scripture posted here for today, Psalms 1:1-2, provides some of that instruction—abide in His Word day and night!
The enemy surely does desire to take the blessings of God out of our lives. That old serpent from as far back as the Garden of Eden has desired above all else that man should be miserable all his life and then die for all eternity. His only tool to accomplish that is his lying tongue.
The word of God has given us the key to the blessings that give us the power to walk always in the triumph of Christ Jesus, and to have a peace that passes all understanding, to have a joy that is unshakable, and it all goes back to what David wrote in that very first Psalm and the Lord based this Word on:
”Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, 'If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'” (John 8:31-32)
KNOW AND LIVE THE WORD OF GOD
