The Most Important Choices

Psalm 1:2 NKJ “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law, he meditates day and night.

We make numerous choices every day, from what is simple to what is complex and life changing. One choice we make every day is whether to start the day with the Word of God or with social media or something else. Are we going to start the day with prayer, or are we going to start it with worry (Philippians 4:6)? Are we going to make time in our schedules to meet with other believers or make other activities a priority instead? The Bible tells us, “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 NKJ). The words “blessed” and “happy” are interchangeable. Basically, the Bible is saying that if we want to be happy, there are some things that we should not do, and there are other things that we should do instead. Do not walk in ungodly counsel, Psalm 1 tells us, and instead walk in godly counsel. In other words, meditate on (or think about or ponder) the Word of God. This is not referring to the meditation of Eastern mysticism. Rather, to meditate on the Word of God means to ponder or contemplate what the Bible has to say. God instructed Joshua to meditate on the book of the law day and night for prosperity and good success (Joshua 1:8). What you need this year is not resolution but solution, which comes by a closer walk with God through His word. You make your choices, and your choices make you!
