Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. –Psalm 1:1-2 (NLT)
MEDITATING ON GOD’S TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you live in awe of God and in his righteousness?
He will bless you with joy, love and holiness
Don’t follow the advice of the sinners and mockers
They will lead you to destruction and make you bitter.
Delight and meditate in the law of the Lord
If you obey him, you are bringing him laud
Think about his truth and you will be free
It will guide you and protect you from the enemy.

What can meditating on God’s truth bring about in one’s life? When I started studying the bible instead of just reading, God showed me so many things that I didn’t understand before. The truths that I daily studied brought answers to questions I have asked that were never answered. I suddenly learned so many generational sins that I have unconsciously received. I didn’t even know that I was living with so much bondage to sin until I started reflecting and memorizing God’s word.
The bible warns us to not participate in the activities of sinners or mockers. The Lord delights in those who seek him and meditate on his commands and truth.
PRAYER
Give me a heart that obeys your commands and seek you.
REFLECTION
What verse or truth have specifically released you from slavery to sin.
