The
passage says that you find happiness or joy and fulfillment when you aren’t
surrounding yourself or listening to the wicked or sinful, or following them in
what they do or be like them and look down on people. Instead of being sinful
and giving into your flesh you can find delight in the Lord’s will and plan for
your life by meditating, reading over, knowing and living out the Bible. You
wont bend or break because you’ll have the strength of a tree that is rooted
near a stream and you’ll have the Living Water to get nourishment and strength
from, so you’ll end up bearing Fruit of the Spirit and you wont wither or die.
Whatever you do you will grow and prosper. People stuck in their sin aren’t
like this, they are like dirt and dead grass that blow away in the wind and in
turn, they won’t survive judgment day, because they don’t have the saving grace
of Jesus and they will be separated from the righteous. Nevertheless the Lord
is good and watches over and protects those who are in His will, but the way of
sinners leads to death.
In
light of this passage I will find my delight in the Lord’s will, and find joy
in having His strength to resist temptation and sin. I shall have the strength
like a tree and be firmly rooted in His word and know it in my heart. I will
know that because I’m God’s daughter I it doesn’t matter that I was once made
of dust but now have so much more worth and value than that and I wont sway or
be blown away. I will be confident in knowing I will survive Judgment Day and
not have guilt about past sins. I will be thankful that the Lord watches over
me and gives me everlasting life.
