Psalm 1:1-3

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;

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

There are multimillion dollar companies who guarantee consumers that their product will help you to look younger, erasing old age spots and wrinkles, and revitalizing old skin. What a relief to know that you do not need to worry about your spirit's 'skin' (if you will). By delighting in the law of the Lord and meditating upon His Word day and night, you can rest assured that you shall be like a tree whose leaf never withers!

God Bless You!

FEATURED FUNNY:

A motorcycle enthusiast complained that he couldn't decide whether to buy a bike with high top speed and poor acceleration, or one with lots of torque and fast acceleration, but a poor top speed. Eventually he decided on the second one, because it cost a lot less. After all, torque is cheap!
