Today's reading is Job 40-42 and Psalms 1-2
How does the blessed man/woman live? Avoids the wrong and does what’s right. Sounds pretty simple, but we know it doesn’t always seem that simple. However, when we look at Psalms 1 we see the blessed person avoids going down the progression of wrong (walking, standing, then sitting).
There is much to see in this little chapter, but I want to point out that once we start going wrong the progression goes from just visiting sin (walking) to frequenting it (standing) to living there (sitting) is natural. This is the way things go. Most people don’t start off saying I want to live a rotten, sinful life, they go slowly until it is a natural part of their life. Thou most think it is a little extreme, I believe we need to stay as far away from the causes of sin in our lives. I am not saying we should stay away for sinners, but we do need to stay away from participating in what is wrong. If not, soon or later you will find yourself going from walking to staying.
