Thought for the week
Our choices are SO important!
The other morning, in quite an unusual way, I had the idea of weave
Psalm1 and Psalm 23 together.
And just look what happened. . . isn’t it super!!
You can see just how good it is to make the right choices. Choosing God, His Word and His ways is never easy . . . but there’s no better choice.
Just look and see for yourself
A weaving together of Psalm 1 with Psalm 23
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
Blessed is the man whose Shepherd is the Lord - he shall lack nothing
Blessed is the man who doesn’t stand in the way of sinners;
Blessed is the man whose Shepherd makes him lie down in green pastures
Blessed is the man who doesn’t sit in the seat of mockers:
Blessed is the man whose Shepherd leads him beside quite waters
Blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the Lord
Blessed is the man whose soul is restored by the Shepherd
Blessed is the man who meditates on the law of the Lord day and night
Blessed is the man who is guided in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake
He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in season
Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
The leaf of this tree does not wither
Because you are with me
Whatever he does prospers.
Your rod and staff comfort me
Not so the wicked! They are like the chaff that the wind blows away.
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
You anoint my head with oil
Sinners will not stand in the assembly of the righteous.
My cup overflows
The Lord watches over the way of the righteous
Surely goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life
But the way of the wicked will perish
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever
Dear reader, to follow Christ is the highest choice anyone can ever make!
If I can be of help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us:
Blessed is the man (woman) who chooses God and His ways!!
