Do you Know that Where You Stand, Sit or Walk Matters to God?



In Psalm 1:1  
The Psalmist gives both a promise and a warning as he describes the way of the righteous and the way of the sinner.
The one who will be blessed is the person who does not listen to the counsel and advise of those who do not know God — they look directly to God for their counsel. They do not stand in the way of sinners, that is, they do not make them their constant companions and join in their behavior. And they do not sit in the seat of mockers. They do not degenerate into an attitude of sarcasm and a cynical view of people and life.

It carries the idea of being a hindrance to, blocking the way to, or being a stumbling block to a person's spiritual growth, or a person's way to heaven.

Standing in the way of sinners.This does not mean standing against them, but with them, agreeing with them. It means telling them that the lie is "a little white lie" or that their behavior is okay,  they just need to "love themselves" "selflove".

Watch the counsel you receive and the counsel you give. 


The first word in the first verse of psalm says "Blessed". 

The counsel you receive determines the course of your life both on earth and in eternity.

There is a fruitful destiny for you who seek to walk in godly paths. (v. 3) "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
