King David avoided scorners. These were those who thought they were better than anyone else. They were disrespectful and belittling to others. Today, many young folk have been deceived into thinking that it’s cool to be disrespectful to parents, to teachers, to police, to the elderly. Others have been deceived into thinking that it is cool to mock or disrespect God. They don’t realize that this is a snare of the enemy. One reaps what they sow. David knew that so he refused to sit at the table with people like this. Reject the mindset of the arrogant and scornful, and take your place with those that honor God and others in authority. God honors those who honor Him!
Psalms 1 (b) “Nor sits in the seat of the scornful…….”
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…..
