Psalms & Proverbs - Day 5

Psalm 1:5
Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Today's Psalm gives us the facts- the unrightous will not stand in the day of judgment - they may be having a great time right now - but all sin costs - it cost lives - sin causes death - those who deny Christ and won't accept them as their Savior - will have a bad day on that day when Christ returns - this is not something we should rejoice in but instead we should have compassion on those who are lost around us - we may be the only Bible they see - we may be the only glimpse of Jesus they will ever see - sin may be fun for a season - but the price to be paid is never worth whatever temporary pleasure may be derived from that sin - the cost of sin is great -so great that JESUS had to die for it - He paid our price - praise HIM for that and pray for those who don't know Christ - do whatever God leads you to do - and do it with all you have! Allow God to use you today!

Proverbs 1:6
To understand a Proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Again today Proverbs talks about the purpose of the book itself - these words are from the very wise of God - and along with the right way to do whatever it is - there is also a wrong way - and with every good point - there is a sadly bad point to go along with it - all throughout this great book of wisdom -we see this pattern - I believe this verse says dark sayings because when the person the writer was talking about sinned against God there were grave consequences -they may see tough at times that's because they are - but we do serve a Righteous God and He expects perfection - the truth of the matter is none of us met the mark - none of us can live it right all the time - thus we needed Jesus to save us - then again if you live as the book of Proverbs requests your life will be blessed - but please note - what we perceive as blessings may not be what God had in mind - He blesses us His way - not the way we want to be blessed! Live the life for Christ our LORD!

footnote: Sin will never bring blessings to our lives - but trusting and obeying the LORD JESUS will!
CHRIST bring us back to life from sure death!
Praises, Prayers & Previews:
Pray for those who don't know JESUS that they will be saved!
It's time once again for the traveling church signs-
send in yours today and happy travels!

The more dirty the pages of our Bible are, the cleaner our lives will be.
