Truly Walk In God’s Ways

The first verse of this opening Psalm gives a precise statement between the two choices every person is given in life. We can choose God's way and take the path of righteousness and peace-with-God, OR we can follow the downward road of the wicked, the sinners, the scoffers, and those that rebel against the Lord. We can choose life or death: 
Oh, the happiness of those who truly walk in God’s ways and does not compromise with the fallen, world system. May we nail our spiritual colors to the mast of our little boats, walk in a manner that is worthy of the calling wherewith we were called, and may we not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, it is the power of God to all who believe. Blessed, indeed, are the ones that walk in the path of righteousness and do not consider in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, it is our desire that we too walk in Your ways and keep from foolish compromise with the world system. Keep our hearts set on the Lord Jesus so that our thoughts are not influenced by the mindset of this current age. May we be like the man planted by Your many rivers of grace a love, joy and peace. May Your mercy and compassion flow through us to those around us, in the place where you have planted us. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
