"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."
Psalm
1:1-2
"...his delight is in the law of the Lord…"
He's
not speaking of the Levitical law. The word "law" here is
the Hebrew word "torah," which is "teaching."
This
is a call to be separate from the world. It's a call specifically to
NOT walk in the counsel of the ungodly because the Scriptures tell us
that the philosophies of the world are "foolishness" (1
Corinthians 3:19). Therefore, if you are going for counsel to an
"expert" in the world, then you are asking for foolishness.
It surely will sound good, but in time you'll see that it was
foolishness.
The "experts" have no use for the Word
of God, in fact they scoff at it. These are the paths of the ungodly,
and the counsels of the scornful. None of them will give you the
truth because they don't KNOW the truth.
So then, how can one
be guided by truth?
Jesus said,
"I am the way, the
TRUTH,
and the life..."
(John 14:6).
If you truly want to
be guided by truth, then bring your situation to the Lord and ask him
to guide you by his Word, and he will.
Vs 6:
"For
the Lord knows the way of the righteous.
But
the way of the ungodly shall perish."
Turn away from the
world and the philosophies thereof. Put your trust in the Lord. He
knows your past and your future, he alone knows your mind and the
very depths of your heart. It is he who fashioned you, and he is the
only one trustworthy to guide the issues of your life.
