Where Is It Coming From?

Psalms 1:1-2 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night.

Where is it coming from? "Where is what coming from?" Our advice...our guidance...where is it coming from? So many followers of Jesus want to reap the benefits of God's blessings; yet, we waste a lot of time listening to the worlds rhetoric and foolishness. We follow the advice of an unsaved world, and then cannot figure out why our lives are filled with fear, panic, depression, and anxiety. We wonder why we cannot seem to catch a break, but fail to acknowledge that the root of the problem is us. The very first chapter of Psalms puts it right out there, telling us that if we want to be blessed, or happy, we must steer clear of the world's way, and delight ourselves in the Word of God. Not only must we delight in the Word, we must meditate on it day and night. With everything that is happening in the world today, there are far too many of us running scared. The devils are having a grand old time keeping the followers of Jesus oppressed and afraid to fellowship and worship God together. It is time to stop listening to the world's propaganda, get away from all the garbage on social media, and spend more time in God's Word, and connecting with each other. In case we have forgotten, God warned us that the world, and even Christianity, would "go sideways" as Jesus' return draws closer. However, God also told us that as that time draws near, we are not to forsake getting together and encouraging one another. Do we want to be blessed, or happy, as Psalms 1 tells us we can be? Then we need to stop walking in, and listening to, the world, and start walking closer to God, in prayer, and in His Word. So, if we want to avoid being fearful, panicked, depressed, and anxious about all that is being continually paraded before our eyes, and instead want to enjoy the blessings and the peace of God available to us, in Christ Jesus, then our advice and guidance needs to come from God and His Word...period. Where is yours coming from?

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
