Mix Tape Vol. 3 (Week 2) Day 3

Before you read God’s Word today, ask for His help by praying this short prayer:
Lord, quiet my heart and settle my mind. Help me set aside the distractions and busyness around me. Let Your Word do more than fill my mind with knowledge, let it change my heart. Show me what is true, correct me where I need it, and guide me in how I should live. Lord, help me not only to hear it, but to receive it and obey it. Draw me closer to You through this time and continue growing me to live like Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 1

[1] Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

[2] but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

and who meditates on his law day and night.

[3] That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

whatever they do prospers.

[4] Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff

that the wind blows away.

[5] Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

[6] For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Reflection:
Reread (vv. 1-3)

Pastor Alan reminded us that John says there is no greater joy than hearing that his children are walking in the truth. The question is: Why do you think this brought John so much joy? Are you walking in truth today?

Pray for His strength and direction for your life. Ask God to help you to live more like Jesus today.
