The Blessed Man 1

     "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly..." Contrary to the notion of modern men, the scriptures are still the best source of direction for a blessed life. Recently, I set out to buy a washing machine and a dryer for our new house. I visited a few showrooms packed with the latest and greatest technological wonders of the laundry world. It is rather amazing what these new machines are reported to do. Problems arose when I put down my money to buy. The stores are all showroom and no warehouse. They have wonders to show and talk about, but when it comes to delivering the goods--they have none to deliver.

     It is the same way with the advice of ungodly men. They talk a great deal and put on a sparkling show, but within they are dead men's bones.  The storeroom of their heart is somewhere far away and they cannot produce the goods when needed. The ungodly will take your riches on a promise which they have no ability to deliver upon.

     This is not how the Kingdom of God operates. What God promises; He delivers and that just in time. The life and power that God says rests in Him is laid up nearby and ready to deliver. You may take God's goods home with you. There is no better, more relevant advice than that of He who created us. We are designed to live and run on Him and all else will fail to deliver the goods.
