From the Heart.
Psalm 1:6 “For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
The popular poem “Footprints in the Sand” tells the story of a man who dreamed of walking with Jesus on the beach. Looking back, the man noticed only one set of footprints when he went through hard times in his life. When he asked Jesus about the one set of footprints, Jesus told the man that it was He who carried him.
The Book of Psalms opens with a simple psalm that contrasts a righteous person with an unrighteous one. The writer challenged believers to delight in God’s Word. Instead of receiving the direction and counsel for our lives from unbelievers who mock the Word of God, we can meditate on the counsel of the Scripture day and night.
One promise grounded in bedrock is that God knows those trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. He charts the road we take. Even in life’s hard times, He is continuing to make his presence known. As we begin 2025, let each of us deepen our knowledge and the presence of God in our lives.
