Psalm 1
1:1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; 1:2 but his delight is in Gods's law. On his law he meditates day and night. 1:3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. 1:4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 1:6 For God knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

I love that! Thank you for sharing. It is so true. It upsets me that so many people don't realize or want to realize that this isn't about a "religion" or ideology or philosophy, but about ETERNAL LIFE. Pretending like it isn't real won't make it go away.

I suppose like everything else in society short terms goals mean more to people than long time goals. Thats how a lot of people get into trouble.

I agree. I think for many it is easier to look just in front of you instead of down the road. It is sad.

27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
That scripture made me cry when I first read it. Dysfunctional family was an understatement for what I grew up around. I had to seek God on my own with little to no help from anyone around me. It seemed God was the only thing that could comfort me. I could not escape oppression from my home or school so this was very comforting to me.

Scythe, you have a story that will inspire many. God spoke to your spirit and you listened. He reached you, He found fertile ground in a desert place.
I praise God and thank Him for you. I am so glad He brought you here. :-)

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. who loved me and gave himself for me.
This verse means so much to me:)
