Be Careful of Where You Walk and Who You Walk With

 Psalm 1:1-3.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he does shall prosper. (NLKJV)

The year has come and and is almost gone and the new year is fastly approaching. The question I want to raise to you is , how are you walking? I think the better question is , how do you intend to walk ? As we end 2020 as a believer it is important that we are careful of where we walk and who  we are walking with? As 2020 ends you and I also should want to walk as God would have us to walk. It is important for us to understand that who we are walking with and where we are walking is vital. I want you to know that today is a good day to make up in your mind that you are going to walk as God would have you to walk as this year is soon to end.

Our text gives us clear instructions on how we should walk as well as who we should not be walking with. The first thing our text lets us know, we are considered blessed by not walking in the council of the ungodly. We have got to make a decision not to be entangled with those that are not equally walking with God and especially the one that offers unwise advise, that is advise that is not Kingdom centered. Secondly, our text lets us know that we should not stand in the path of sinners. I understand that you and I are in the world but not of the world but we must be careful to who we mingle with or walk with, who we spend our time in conversation with. It is important that kingdom people hang out with Kingdom people . We can not co mingle with the ungodly and expect godly results. Thirdly the text lets us know that we should not sit in the seat of the scornful.  As believer we must be careful of being judgemental or having a self-righteous disposition or even gossip chatter. People make mistakes and so will you. How do you intend to walk and who will you be walking with?

Christians are called to walk with God and to obey his commands. But, we live in a world that presents us with countless temptations to wander from God's path. These temptations have the potential to destroy us, in part, because they cause us to be dishonest with ourselves  and with others. We must pay attention this year to where we walk and who we are walking with.

There should be an extreme amount of enthusiasm in pleasing  God. Our text lets us know that we should delight in pleasing God and we should be meditating on His word both day and night. The results of walking right will afford you to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. A tree needs water to grow. The Word of God is the water that we need to be rooted and grounded in him. When it is time to bring forth fruit in the right season it comes forth, and success will happen, in other words both you and I will prosper.

As the year ends, focus on making your walk with God count. Please be careful where you walk and who you are walking with.
