Bible Chapter: Psalm 1 & 2

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    Do you want true blessings and the best life?  Delight in the things of God and stay away from the counsel and paths of sinners.  This word delight shows an action and attitude that gets excited about God and His ways and not just puts up with “religion” so that God is not mad at him.  God knows the ways that people live and the way of the ungodly will perish.
    Some things never seem to change.  There are nations and leaders who constantly war against God.  They rebel against God’s laws.  God responds to these efforts to defy and mock him.  In the end God will put them in their place and He will win.  Jesus will return to the earth and conquer these foes.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    It is a common desire to have the best life possible.  In this modern age there are countless ways to pursue pleasure and ease.  People’s priorities are all mixed up.  True blessings come when a person seeks the things of God.  God’s ways are highest.  Material possessions are fun.  But they are not the ultimate solution.  That latest and best gadget will become obsolete.  God’s word will never fade away.

3.  How can I help someone?
    Seek God and His ways.  That may seem simple, but it is also the best.  There is nothing to compare with God.  There are many temporary ways to have fun, but they never last.  They always disappoint in the end.
