[The Message Bible] Sin Saloon, the Dead-End Road and Smart-Mouth College.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

How well God must like you-- You don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.

Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing the fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.

This is from the book of Psalms chapter 1 verses 1-3 of The Message Bible.


I like how the last part pictures a person who walks with the Lord guided by His Word. He/she is like a tree full of like, fruits in season and healthy leaves. Most other translation / versions includes"In all that he does he prospers."

When our minds are filled with God's truths and principles, we make good decisions and we strive not to be caught in a bad place in a bad time (with shady people). Anyone would agree that you have more success in life if you keep this principle rather than be guided by a principle of deceit, lies and unlawful practices.


Hope this post made you reflect a bit and made a positive impact on your day.
Thank you.
