TWO INDIVIDUALS, TWO WAYS, TWO DESTINIES

Saturday Morn | 1.18.24 | Devotional Prophetic Bible Study; “in the Prophetess’ Chamber”

“ Ps 1:1-6 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.”

✝️ Destiny One—The BLESSED ONE:

⚜️Does not stand” in the counsel of sinners, (follow the advice of those who are wicked); their advice, faculty of knowledge, reason, view, opinions—as to what is to be done—

⚜️He does not “stand in the way,” of sinners. (to stand in the way the ungodly stands—aligning yourself with their ungodly path to destruction. We’re not to think like the ungodly; to be consumed by the pleasures of the moment, and to ignore the consequences. They may be very pleasant, but when it comes to the things of God, when you engage them in spiritual conversation, you find them at odds with what the Bible teaches.

⚜️He does not sit in the seat of “scorners. (does not associate with or actively participate with those who openly mock or criticize God and his teachings; and “sitting" there implies you actively participate {acquiesce} to and in that behavior). Seat of the scornful emphasizes the importance of choosing to not align oneself with those who actively disregard or ridicule the beliefs and Laws of God. If you want to be miserable, make your best friends those who are scornful, critical and disrespectful. The three verbs—walk, stand and sit—show the slippery slope of evil.

⚜️He delights in the “Law of the Lord” — the set of instructions and expectations that God has for his creation. It is a representation of God's revealed will, and precepts of the LORD and it is meant to guide and bless people.

⚜️He “meditates” in those Laws, day and night. Reading, studying, and applying God’s truth to one’s life is the pleasure and joy of the righteous. We consult it often, letting it become a guiding light and roadmap for our journey. it has the power to sustain us with joy through times of despair, give comfort, hope, protection, and victory over sin and to lead us securely to our eternal home, heaven.

THE BLESSED ONE | FRUIT | BENEFITS

🍇 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of living waters. People who follow God's Word are spiritually healthy, productive, and successful.

🍇 He will be a fruitful tree—bringing fruit in “its” season; in accordance with God's timing. They will not decline, even during difficult times; essentially, their life will remain vibrant and fruitful regardless of challenges. continued vitality and strength

🍇 His “leaves” will not wither,(continued vitality and strength).

🍇 WHATSOEVER, He does will PROSPER!!

It means that anything a person who is faithful and aligned with God does will be successful and bring forth good results; not just material wealth, but also spiritual growth and a fulfilling life.

☢️ THE HAZARDOUS UNGODLY ONES: Destiny Two—

⛔️ Are “not like” the Blessed (suggests God has an unfavorable opinion of or find unpleasant.

⛔️ He is like “chaff” a symbol for wickedness, and the transient (is temporary or short-lived and then gone); which the winds “drives away.” It symbolizes the separation of what is useful from what is not, and the destruction of the wicked by the wind.

⛔️ They will not “stand in judgement”of the righteous;  (the day when people will appear before God to be judged for their actions and words).

⛔️ They are sinners, and will not  “Stand,” in the congregation of the righteous. (be part of a community of believers who live according to God's will)

THE LORD KNOWS THE “WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS”…

THE “WAY OF THE UNGODLY” WILL PERISH…

A CALL TO INTROSPECTION & CONFESSION

👁️‍🗨️ Ask God to search your heart for areas that displease Him.

👁️‍🗨️ Confess ways in which you have walked in the “counsel of the wicked.”

👁️‍🗨️ Repent of them all. Repentance is a change in how a person thinks, feels, and acts. It means a change of heart and mind that involves turning away from sin and seeking forgiveness from God.

It's a call to stop doing wrong and start doing right!
