BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-4 NKJV What It Really Means to Be Happy
By Jennifer Waddle To be considered blessed or prosperous in our culture, is to be affluent in wealth, success, or notoriety. In Psalm 1, however, the Hebrew word for blessed is esher, which means internal happiness and contentment. It has nothing to do with worldly achievements, but rather peace and joy that is rooted in God alone. The promise of blessedness comes for those who find delight in the Word of the Lord, who meditate on it day and night. Of course, we can't spend every minute reading the Bible, but we can hide the Word in our hearts and carry the Scriptures with us through every season. It's not about head-knowledge, but rather heart-knowledge, filling our souls with words of life. |
