Ps 1:1-2: 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. 2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
There are so many thing in this world that we can take delight in. Some of us have over two-hundred channels we can access on our television sets. A few might even have the pleasure of watching two shows on one TV. Many find satisfaction in their cells phones, the Internet, or any of the other thousands of gadgets available today. Yet, is this not the enemy’s plan to keep us so preoccupied with “things” that we forget the most important thing? Is satan not the master of deception? Does he not believe in supply and demand for the purpose of us not focusing on the Will of God for our lives?
Hear me! There is nothing wrong with using the electronic equipment this world has to offer. But, does it commandeer our time? One of the hardest things to do is to retrain our minds; especially when it is set on what it wants to do. And some of our modern day gadgets offer so much ungodliness, we can miss our blessings because we refuse to censor what we indulge in. The blessed man or woman delights himself more in the Word of God, than in the enjoyments of this life. They find comfort, joy, peace, knowledge, understanding, and the wisdom of God, when focusing on the Word of God more than their fleshly desires. Remember our Lord: He came not to do His Will, but the Will of Him that sent him (John 6:38). Because of his decision, He was blessed! Make the right choices and you will be too.
