Staying Blessed in Contentious Times

How is it possible to stay blessed in contentious times?  As we see people mocking and scoffing, and raging against God's Word, how do we respond?  It isn't by getting in the sewer with them!  The Bible has a better answer in Psalm 1.

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!  But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.   He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.   The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.

Take this to heart, and may God show us the way to be more loving and helpful...

Happy because of Jesus,
Pastor James
