Show Us The Fruitful Way

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

                                                                                        (Psalm 1:1-4 KJV)

It is really a good idea to follow the path that Jesus has set before you. Following in the way of the ungodly will only bring you to disaster. 

I listened to a YouTube video featuring Ben Carson (Secretary of HUD) last night. His strong faith has kept him on a path that has produced much fruit in all that he has done. Overcoming much adversity, he has prospered in many ways. On his faith journey, with the help of God, he has helped many people to  live fuller lives. He helped many to live! When he was asked if he did anything to prepare for such intricate surgeries as separating conjoined twins, his answer was that he did the same thing to prepare for the difficult surgeries as he did for the easier ones. He prayed.  He asked God for wisdom and guidance.

May God grant us wisdom and guidance to follow in the Way that He would have us go that we too may produce good fruit.

God's Peace - Pr. J
