Blessed to Walk with the LORD

Psalms 1

"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,


Nor stand in the path of sinners,


Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!


But his delight is in the law of the Lord,


And in His law he meditates day and night.


He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,


Which yields its fruit in its season


And its leaf does not wither;


And in whatever he does, he prospers.

The wicked are not so,


But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.


Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,


Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.


For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,


But the way of the wicked will perish."

The Hatred for Others Brings out the Worst in You.

 "When you hate certain people for your own warped reasons, you actually have no humane respect or dignity for them."

What? Never having to say you are sorry?!

"Victimhood" Means You Never Have to Say You're Sorry

"Behavior that is objectively wrong, violence, hate, harassment and terrorism, becomes right if the perpetrators are victims who claim to be striving for a society of moral equity. 

But the truth about victims is that they never want to stop being what they are. If they did, they would become survivors. 

Victimhood is convenient and comforting. Victims never have to learn to do better. They spend all of their time telling others to do better so that xer’s feelings aren’t hurt again.

Victimhood views failure as a conspiracy, rather than a choice, and nations and societies that embrace victimhood quickly turn into failed states. 

America used to get things done. Now we no longer win wars or can even stock supermarkets. 

There are a thousand points of failure and they begin with a culture that is hostile to achievement and supportive of victimhood."

Micah 7:2

..."The godly person has perished from the land,

And there is no upright person among men.

All of them lie in wait for bloodshed;

Each of them hunts the other with a net."...

Psalm 37:35-37

..."I have seen a wicked, violent man

Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;

I sought for him, but he could not be found.

 

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;

For the man of peace will have a posterity."...

Habakkuk 2:4

..."“Behold, as for the proud one,

His soul is not right within him;

But the righteous will live by his faith."...

I've been thinking...

Matthew 5:43-48

..."“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? 

Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? 

Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
