DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 17; Jeremiah 29; Philemon
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. Psalm 1:1
This verse reveals the man of God by what he does not do. In other Scriptures we see three men who present the positive side. Enoch (def. consecrated) pleased God and walked with Him (Gen. 5:22). Elijah (def. Jehovah is God) was a man of God and stood before the Lord (1 Kings 19:13). David (def. beloved) was a man after God’s own heart and sat before the Lord (1 Chron. 17:16). —E. MacLelland
We should walk to please the Lord,
Stand before Him—hear His Word,
Seek His presence and there rest,
And we’ll find His way is best. —E. M.
