Ps 1:1

Psalm 1:1 “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked…”




I wish I could go back throughout my life and take back the times I compromised my relationship with Christ to follow a wicked man’s counsel. Reflection over one’s life can prove sorrowful with many regrets. True, some unsaved folk will have great advice for us in this world, but we must stay attuned to the Holy Spirit as to when to follow this advice and when to reject it. “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools…” (Romans 1:22) Is it safe to trust in the counsel of fools? Surely not, rather, first go to the Maker of all things, who contains all wisdom ad knowledge, and “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33). So, “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,” (James 1:5) instead of walking in the counsel of the wicked.
