Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
Psalm 1:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
I like the verse it says that our delight and desire should be in the law of the Lord; and on His Law we shld habitually meditates day and night. Everytime when I was in crisis or even whenever I'm free I like to meditates on God's word as it always give me refreshing revelation on the things that is to come and I will always be encourage to do more for the Lord as His word of encouragment thru reading the word always lead us into prosperity in the soul!!!
As Arise and Build is ard the corner, I really encourage the members to get into the word to get the rhema that God has prepare for you!!! So let us really move out of our comfort zone and press on the the prize that is ahead of us.
If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side when men rose up against us, Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us; Then the waters would have overwhelmed us and swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; Then the proud waters would have gone over us.
Psalm 124:2-5 (Amplified Bible)
It is really that when we relies on the Word of God in our life that we can be dependent on Him in times of troubles. When you have God on your side, you will not worries of the thing that is to come as you can simply relax and trust God to do the rest when you are faithful in His commandments and words.
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Matthew 7:24-27 (Amplified Bible)
Be wise and build ur foundation on the solid rock instead of sand... Be firm in the promises of God over your life.
