Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
Many people seek this but do not know where to find such wealth.
God shows us how we can be blessed, and He indicates the path of blessing, and for blessing. Of course, He also warns us what will happen if we ignore His ways.
There is a very real blessing to be received and enjoyed when a man takes his counsel from men of God.
Blessed is the person who comes to God, and God's Word, and to God's men, for advice, and help in time of trouble and need.
If we take the wrong counsel and advice, we will find ourselves hanging around in the company of those who do not know Jesus or keep His Word, and that will do us no good.
Blessed is the man who can say "NO" positively. No, I am not doing that. No, I am not going there. No, I will not be with you.
Do you know what gradually happens?
We have the picture of a man walking with the ungodly, and a series of steps leads him to make certain commitments.
This man stands in this company, and before he knows it, he is sitting alongside them, agreeing with them, and perhaps beginning to scoff and mock at the things of God.
There does not appear to be any room for compromise here. Sin grows.
When we move into sinner’s company, we begin to think like them, speak like them, and act like them.
Yes, we have to work alongside all kinds of people in the world, but our fellowship is in Christ, and with those who are in Christ.
All this can be found in the opening Psalm.
