My New Years day begins with the Bible, God’s Word. 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. He shall be planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season. Whose leaf also shall not whither; And whatever he does shall prosper {Psalm 1:1-3}.
Insight: This wisdom psalm basically functions as an introduction to the entire book of psalms. Its theme tells of people, paths, and ultimate destinations by two cycles of contrast. Psalm 1 separates all people into their respective spiritual catergories: By observation, By outcome.
Lord, give me a heart that will meditate on Your Word, that will feed my soul Your truths, Your precepts, that will govern my life through out this new year. In Jesus Name, Amen.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up {Psalm 5:3}
