BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. [Mal. 3:6.]
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), and His ears are attentive to their prayer.
And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.
The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Today’s verse of the day is RIGHT on TIME. I love how this particular translation instructs us to “stay calm.” (in contrast with others that tell us to “be still.”)
2018 has been quite the year, indeed and staying in/returning to a state of calm (#ProtectYourPeace) has been essential in dealing with all of the circumstances I’ve encountered thus far.
