A SOURCE OF DIVINE BLESSINGS Tuesday October 20, 2015
Text: Psalm 1:1 – 3 Memory verse: v 1
The original word for blessed is plural and we learn that the word ‘blessed’ is multiplicity of the blessings which shall rest upon the man, whom God has justified, and the perfection and greatness of the blessedness he shall enjoy. A blessed man is described in the negative way Psalm 1:1 and positive way in Psalm 1:2. He takes wise counsel, and walks in the laws of his God. His footsteps are ordered by the word of God, and he does not keep company of sinners. He avoids scorners. He sees the word of God as source of blessings and a sure guarantee to success (Joshua 1:8). He meditates on the word of God diligently and constantly.
God told Joshua the secret of success in Joshua 1:7, 8. He was emphatic about meditation on the word of God. It is God’s word that grants us our miracles. Word of God opens doors of blessings for us. You need to key into this secret David mentioned in our text by diligent and constant meditation of the word of God. Avoid the ungodly and scoffers and have nothing to do with them and you will begin to reap the favour of God with attendant blessings

Prayer: Lord, help me to apply this secret of divine blessings into my life.
