“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…”
My Pastor preached a sermon about “How to Be Blessed” and I thought it was worth passing on to you. He used Psalms 1:1 – 3 to illustrate three points: Selective, Surrender, and Successful.
Point number one tells us in order to be blessed, we have to be selective in who we receive counsel from, who we consider friends, and to be sure we share the same views when it comes to our God. It’s important to surround ourselves with people who can encourage us with scripture and help us along our paths. We have to continue to connect with unsaved people to help them learn of Christ, but we have to be sure we’re pouring into them and not the other way around. Remember, iron sharpens iron. Make sure the people we allow around us are lifting us up and not pulling us down.
Birds of a feather…

Heavenly Father, I am blessed because I choose not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
