Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
There is no substitute for the Word of God. Knowledge, strategy, gut instinct, and experience is valuable, but it all pales in comparison when placed in the light of the Bible. Do you delight in the Scriptures? Is it a daily grind to read a few verses, or do you find life in them? It’s not a matter of making yourself do something, though it may begin as an exercise in discipline, it must become something you can’t live without. If you can live without meditating day and night on God’s Word, you’re not living.
