The Promise of Blessing
“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord!”
—Psalm 119:1
These words from the Psalmist’s pen present a view of life that is the exact opposite of what the world around us promotes—through advertising, the media, entertainment, even the lifestyles of the rich and famous. “Live for yourself,” the world proclaims. “Have a good time; indulge your senses; pursue every pleasure; strive for success. And if you do,” these voices add, “then you’ll be happy and blessed.”

But God calls us to another way—His way. Blessing, He says, comes only from following Him. Every other way promises what it cannot deliver—and delivers exactly the opposite of what it promises. Some of the most miserable people I have ever known were highly successful in the eyes of the world. But down inside they were restless and spiritually empty.

Have you fallen into the world’s trap, following its self-indulgent goals and driven by its self-centered motives? It can happen without you even being aware of it. Make sure Christ is first in your life, and make it your goal to live according to His Word.
Wisdom for Today

Give us a desire for the joy that is found only in following You, Lord. Let us not be swayed by the false idols of this world that promise things they can never provide.
