ABIDE IN ME PSALM1:1-6

The joy of those who do not follow the advice of the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners and mockers is in the Lord.The writer of the Psalms begins by extolling the joy of obeying God and refusing to listen to those who discredit or ridicule him.Our friends,family and associates around can often have a profound influence on us somethings in a subtle way that is not suspecting.If we allow for friendship with those who do not follow Gods commandment, we might fall into sin.

Joseph obeyed God by fleeing from Portifars wife, he was sent to prison for his love of Gods Commandment.

Do you friends sometimes help build up your faith in God or do they make it falter? Your true friends are those who uplift your conviction in the lord and help you increase and value your faith in God. Since God sees all humans as the same irrespective of race,origin and nationality. All men can please God only through obeying his word as contained in the Bible.

By obeying Gods word men become viable trees by the river bank (Jeremiah 17:7-8) that bear fruit that cannot be cut down since they renew their strength from their source or creator which is God. He watches over those who obey and love him giving them the promise of life everlasting. While those who disobey him are like trees that bear no fruit and are blown away to destruction.

Be sure to choose Gods path that leads to life Everlasting.

Prayer for the day
Lord let us follow you, and lead our friends and family to you. Renew our strength and love for you that we might please you and have the gift of everlasting life Amen.
