How do the righteous behave? Let's take a quick look at Psalm 1:2-3.
They delight in the law of the LORD. They love God's law! They love to hear it, to be taught it, to be rebuked and informed and encouraged by it.
They meditate in the law of the LORD. They think about His law, discuss His law, recite His law.
They are strong in the LORD. The righteous are compared to a tree planted by water, able to enjoy a constancy of resources that move them into a stage of bearing fruit.
They are prosperous in the LORD. Let's not limit God to being a sovreign slot machine. While financial security is certainly within His parameters, the righteous are also the beneficiaries of "good success" because they walk in obedience to His mandate and call on their life (see Joshua 1:1-9).
Are you craving a positive commendation from God? Is your desire to please your Father in heaven? A great place to start is with this call to live a lifestyle that is pleasing to Him.
"If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love..." John 15:10
