Our meditation today comes from the opening two verses of Psalm 1. In the first verse, the psalmist reminds us of the three "no's" in a progressive manner; in the second, he turns the focus to let us know the source of the only true blessing. Dear friend, do you want to be a blessed person? Jesus Christ, the perfectly righteous man, died for us while we were still sinners; how God loves us so much! We can be reconciled to God and justified by faith because of the Savior's mercy. The Holy Spirit will move us through the word of God to repentance and conversion, to put away ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to wait quietly for the blessing we hope for. Pray that God would give us a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and increase our strength, wisdom, and joy, and keep us on the path of eternal life prepared by God!
