Meditation 81
Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:6 Some of you may remember the old Mission Impossible TV series. At the beginning of the show, the leader would receive a tape from headquarters which contained the mission. After the man would listen carefully to it once, the tape would then self destruct in a few seconds with a puff of smoke. That, my friends, is the future of the ungodly. Sin leads to utter futility. Though it may blossom … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:6 Every now and then we feel forgotten. It’s that feeling like we could slip off into a corner of the universe and no one would really notice or care. It’s part of living in a sinful world where rejection and disappointment are all too common. But the truth is quite different. God knows your path. This is much more than a simple, “Yeah, God knows where I’m going.” This is … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Luke 5:1-11 The disciples had been following Jesus for some time. However, as we can see here, they had not completely given up their day jobs (or night jobs as it may be). Why were they out fishing the night before? Was it to simply have a time of fellowship? Was it to relax after a hard day at the evangelistic office? No, likely they were out trying to catch fish to … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:5 Have you ever wanted to make a sinner -really- uncomfortable? The best way to do this is to gather about ten to fifteen other believers around and start talking about God’s goodness, His salvation and how wonderful a life holiness will bring. Talk about being on edge like a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs! But this example only goes to illustrate that the sinners have no place of … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:5 Stand or cringe. It’s your choice. One day, all of humanity will be called before the judgment seat of the Almighty God. There, we will each give an account of our works, our words, our motives and our acceptance or rejection of Jesus Christ. To those who have delighted in the law of the Lord, they will be given a welcome into the kingdom of God for eternity. Their righteousness … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:4 The first look at the life of the ungodly is in comparing them to chaff. In the time of harvest, the reapers go out and gather all the grain they possibly can. Then they bring that grain back to the barns where it is taken to the threshing floor. At the threshing floor, the kernel of wheat is separated from ALL else that was part of the wheat as it … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:4 The Bible is full of stark contrasts. In fact, God knows that this is one of the ways that we humans learn best. Try to describe the color white, and you might run into trouble. Put white opposite black, and you can clearly point out the differences. In this psalm, God wants us to understand clearly that there are big differences between those who delight themselves in His law and … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:3 The last part of this verse amazes me so much. People often wonder what they should do in life with regards to occupation or profession. This verse makes it clear that if you delight yourself in the law of God, you can do anything and prosper. OK. Perhaps that offends someone. But I didn’t write it. God did. Read it again. It will set you free. Instead of cowering in fear … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:3 One of those sights which provokes sadness in a universal way is the picture of a field full of crops which have been blighted by drought. Just recently I tried to transplant some vegetables which were not growing in the proper place. After moving them, I gave them water and felt I had been careful. The next day, I returned home from work to find all of the transplants wilted. … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:26 Finally, this psalm reminds us that we should be thankful to God because of His perspective. He is, after all, the God of heaven. His viewpoint is complete. His understanding lacks nothing. He is not simply a deity over a small portion of all that exists. No, we are stewards over small matters, and at best we struggle with fulfilling our jobs perfectly. But He is the God of the … Read entire article »
