King David understood learned about the things that could bring him down. One of those principles is to not walk with the ungodly. He refused to “stand in the path of sinners.” The Hispanics have a saying: “Tell me who you walk with, and I will tell you who you are.” There is a lot of truth to that. People can either encourage you and take you higher, or bring you down with them. There are those that bless you just by spending time with them. There are others that can outright depress you in 5 minutes, :-). It’s time to really take a hard look at who you are standing with. David did that, and he had an awesome life and legacy. How about you?
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners…..
Psalms 1 (Amplified version) Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes]
In the Amplified version of the Bible, It shares when a man refuses to walk in bad and ungodly counsel, and instead follows God’s word, it causes one to enter into a cycle of joy, peace, confidence, prosperity (is able to confidently do what God called him to do). There are many voices in the world today, and they are all screaming for our attention. Most of these voices will veer you away from your purpose and destiny. Don’t allow it. Be that person that this verse is speaking about. Walk and live in the word, and be that Blessed person!
