Taking Advice from others- Pslam 1 & 2

As a writer I like books. I am a sucker for the latest leadership or personality book. However, most of today's books ought to come with a label warning like a pack of cigerettes: WARNING, CONTENTS MAY BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Today's Psalm is that warning label. Psalm 1:2 should be on every book we read, radio station we hear, web site we search, or media we engage in. The unbeieving world is full of advice for us. However, when we listen and take the advice of the unsaved world we remove ourselves from the place of producing fruit for God in proper season. The truth in Psalm 1 that is that God has a formula for success for our lives.. He has given us His Word (Referred to as the “law” in chapter one) and if we meditate on it we will produce fruit. But, if we take the “counsel” of the ungodly and begin to stand around with them and eventually sit with them we will lose the ability to produce fruit in season for God – fruit that constitutes success. Like the laws of science the laws of God are firm and make no exception. Listening to the counsel of the ungodly is the first step in a wrong formula for life. We must be warned of that counsel and rather delight in the law of the Lord. Be careful what we inhale from the world's philosophy.
