A Blessed Man

Psalms 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

 I'm too blessed to stress; Blessed and highly favored: These are popular saying we throw around all the time,but are you really blessed? Truly blessed? The word of God says that "Blessed is the man that don't continue to walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the way of the sinner, or sits in the seat of the scornful.It's the character of a Godly man which allows him to walk in the righteousness of God. God knows those that are his by name, but we only know them by their character.The character of a Godly man is given by the rules he chooses to walk by and the advice he takes his direction from.

The Godly man takes his direction from the word of God,  he meditates on it day and night. This keeps him on the narrow road, the straight path ,so he is blessed not to walk in the ways of the wicked. The ungodly are unsettled, they have no pacific goal or aim, they don't walk by any certain rule, as they stand for nothing and seem to fall for everything.Thinking they are free, they become slaves to many masters.They are at the command of every lust, and the beck and call of every temptation.The Godly man sees them with a sad heart, but he does not do what they do, his character won't allow him to follow their advise, stand in their unrighteousness or to seek rest in their unbelief. He takes his rest in the word of God, and is blessed with a blessing which flows like a flowing river of water, and in all that the Godly man does, he  prospers.
  
So if you think you're blessed now, just think of how blessed you will be when you meditated on the word of God day and night.When you truly have your steps ordered by the Lord.When you really walk in the faith of God's word and stand solely on His promises.
