Psalm 1:1-3; Proverbs 1:10-19; Proverbs 4:14-15; Job 21:16
Choose for yourself, each new day, which way you will go. God the Holy Spirit will guide you as you put your faith in Him. Every day we have the opportunity to follow the way of the world or go the way of the Lord. Rest assured we will reap what we sow. Every choice we make has a direct consequence, good or bad.
Those who choose to walk with God will find the path that leads to life. They will have everything they need to live a godly life and they will find peace, joy, comfort and strength for daily living. They won’t be swept aside by every seemingly good idea or intention that comes their way. They won’t be influenced, deceived or tricked.
Those who abide in God’s word, meditating on scripture day and night, will develop godly wisdom and understanding, and will know the truth, and the truth will set them free from the influence and trickery of this world and its god, Satan, the devil.
True happiness comes from the inside when we listen to the voice of the Shepherd and Overseer of our soul. Learn to hear his voice through the living power of His word. And then pray that you might “take heed according to His word.” Which means to put His word into practice and obedience.
When we do this, will cultivate a life of true wisdom and understanding, and we’ll experience the success and prosperity that comes from a godly lifestyle; the fruit of the Spirit which comes out of those whom the Spirit of God has poured Himself into.
The prosperity of the world is material gain and wealth. It is temporary. It comes and goes. But the prosperity that comes from God is on the inside, in our hearts. This is where the Kingdom of God begins. The road to God’s holy city, Zion, is in your heart.
Psalms 1:1-3 NLT
[1] Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. [2] But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. [3] They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

[16] Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Proverbs 1:10-19 NLT
[10] My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! [11] They may say, “Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent! [12] Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave; let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death. [13] Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take. [14] Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.” [15] My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths. [16] They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder. [17] If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away. [18] But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed. [19] Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
