[The Glory Unveiled]
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked… but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. [ Psalm 1:1–2 NIV ]
We are shaped—and often defined—by the company we keep. You can often predict a person’s direction, and even their downfall, simply by observing their associations. The truth is this: we are free to choose who we walk with, but we are not free to escape the consequences that come with those choices. God will not force us to walk with the righteous, yet when we do, the blessings that follow speak for themselves. Scripture gives us the surest guideline for guarding our steps: delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night. When the Word fills our thoughts, it begins to shape our choices. When we ponder Scripture continually, we are positioned to live by what it says. And as we meditate on the Word, grace is supplied to help us walk it out. But consistency in this lifestyle requires more than routine—it requires delight. We must hunger for God’s Word, thirst for its truth, and desire its instruction more than the world’s influence. Then the truth we embrace and meditate on will set us free—free from ungodly patterns, free from destructive associations, free from the lifestyle of the wicked.
Delight in the Word, and the Word will direct your steps.
