The Two Ways

Hello! and happy good Thursday to all of us; and, it's just 78 days to go before Christmas, GUYS.  Our today's "daily bread":

 

THE GOOD NEWS (08 October 2015)

 

"Blessed is the one

who does not go where the wicked gather,

or stand in the way of sinners,

or sit where the scoffers sit!

 

Instead, he finds delight in the law of the LORD

and meditates day and night

on HIS commandments.

 

He is like a tree beside a brook

producing its fruit in due season,

its leaves never withering.

Everything he does is a success.

 

But it is different with the wicked.

They are like chaff

driven away by the wind.

The wicked will not stand when judgment comes,

nor the sinners when the righteous assemble.

 

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous

but cuts off  the way of the wicked."

(Psalm 1:1-6)

 

(What you sow in life you will harvest.  Those who keep GOD's law will be happy here and in the next life.  Whoever refuses will not prosper.

 

This first Psalm speaks of happiness, just as JESUS' first discourse began with "Happy!" [or being blessed "Fortunate"].

 

 

 

We often find the theme of two ways in the Bible [Deuteronomy 30:15; Jeremiah 21:8; Proverbs 4:18; Matthew 7:13].  It expresses our personal responsibility which will  be clearly seen on the day of judgment.  Whatever the appearances may be at times, true happiness is for those who are faithful to the will of GOD.

 

JESUS is the green and productive tree, par excellence. All that is good, great, beautiful and holy in the heart of a person blossoms on the tree of the cross.)
